I would further like to request an FOI regarding information relating to any written communication between The Prime Minister, Transport Minister or The Chancellor or Sajid Javid, as well as Mike Brown the Transport Commisioner with Dara Khosrowshahi between 28 August 2017 and 31st January 2018. I am especially interested to learn whether any actual meetings took place between any of these people and where those meeting were held during the aforementioned period.

TfL Ref: FOI-4372-1718

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 2 February 2018 asking for information about meetings and correspondence. Please accept my apologies for the delay in our response.

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 do hold the information you require.

The Commissioner met with Dara Khosrowshahi on 3 October 2017 and 15 January 2018, both meetings took place in London. Please see the relevant correspondence between them during this time period.

Please note that in accordance with TfL’s obligations under the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA) some personal data has been removed, as required by section 40(2) of the FOI Act. This is because disclosure of this personal data would be a breach of the DPA, specifically the first principle of the DPA 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 of Schedule 2 of the Data Protection Act which would make the processing ‘fair’.

I can confirm there were no meetings or written communication between the Commissioner and any of the other individuals listed in your request during the period specified

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

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.

Yours sincerely
