Our Ref:         FOI-3193-1920

Thank you for your clarified request received on 29 January 2020 asking for information about the meeting between TfL Commissioner, Mike Brown, and Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. I can confirm we hold some of the information you require. You asked for:

•         Details of everyone, names, titles and who they represent, who were present at the meeting
•         Details of the agenda and what was discussed
•         Copies of any minutes, notes or record of the meeting

Please see the attached meeting note which provides details of the meeting, including who was present and what was discussed.

•         Copies of any emails sent or received before or after the meeting between any of those present, their staff or nominees

Please find the requested emails attached.

In accordance with TfL’s obligations under Data Protection legislation some information has been withheld from the attached documents, as required by section 40(2) of the FOI Act. This is because disclosure of this personal data would be a breach of the legislation, specifically the first principle of Article 5 of the General Data Protection Regulation which requires all processing of personal data to be fair and lawful. It would not be fair to disclose this personal information when the individuals have no expectation it would be disclosed and TfL has not satisfied one of the conditions which would make the processing ‘fair’.
 
This exemption to the right of access to information is an absolute exemption and not subject to an assessment of whether the public interest favours use of the exemption.

•         Copies of any letters sent or received pertaining to the meeting either before or after the meeting
•         Copies of any text messages sent or received before or after the meeting between any of those present, their staff or nominees
•         Records of any phone calls made or received before or after the meeting between any of those present, their staff or nominees

We do not hold any letters, text messages, or records of phone calls relating to the meeting.

If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for some reason, please feel free to contact me.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.

Yours sincerely
