The Mayor's Office does not practice open governance - Tuffrey

10.20.00am GMT Tue 4th Mar 2008

London Assembly Liberal Democrats expressed their dismay that Lee Jasper failed to declare extensive foreign travel today. Leader of the London Assembly Liberal Democrats, Mike Tuffrey commented:

"Every official in City Hall should be made to register their interests. In the name of transparency, this information must be in the public domain.

"If Lee Jasper did not do this, it raises serious questions about the way that the Mayor is conducting his office. His staff act in his name but are not being held accountable to anyone.

"How can the Mayor champion democracy when his own office does not practice open governance?"
