To ask the Secretary of State for Transport when he next plans to meet the chairman of London Regional Transport to discuss performance targets.

I meet the chairman of London Transport regularly to discuss a variety of issues, including performance targets.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport whether, in his consideration of the appointment of a chairman of London Regional Transport, he takes into account his ability to be financially competent and to manage senior staff to ensure their financial competence.
