Commenting on the the interview with Bob Kiley, the former Commissioner for Transport in London in today's Evening Standard, Liberal Democrat Transport Spokesman at the London Assembly, Geoff Pope, said:

"Most Londoners will be rightly furious that the Mayor is handing over £737,000 a year of taxpayers' money to a consultant who admits he isn't doing much. But it doesn't stop there: he also gets a personal assistant and a free house worth £3,000 a week rent. This makes a joke of affordable housing for key workers.

"These are benefits most of us can only dream about. Value for money has to be the key. Frankly, London cannot afford Ken Livingstone."
