Dear Mr Haughton

Thank you for your email requesting information under the Freedom of Information Act. Our response to your request is as follows:

1) At the Mayors Question time Boris Johnson claimed that the expansion of London City Airport would provide 1000 new jobs. Can I have a copy of all documentation that the Mayor has seen to support this claim PRE this request.

The Mayor received a verbal briefing before PQT, so the Greater London Authority holds no such documentation.

2) Can I also have a breakdown of the 1,000 jobs and a time line for the jobs?

The Greater London Authority does not hold this information.

3) Can you send me a list of times that the Mayor has met with Richard Gooding of London City Airport, and representatives of London City Airport or any Lobby groups working for London City Airport including Hill & Knowlton.

The Mayor has not met with Richard Gooding or any lobby groups working for London City Airport. We do not have any record of the Mayor being approached to meet with Hill & Knowlton in relation to London City Airport.

Yours sincerely

Zoë Newcombe

Mayor's Office
