Lee Jasper is part of a wider problem with the Mayor's Office - Tuffrey

7.02.00pm GMT Tue 4th Mar 2008

Commenting on the resignation of Lee Jasper this evening, Leader of the London Assembly Liberal Democrats, Mike Tuffrey said:

"Lee Jasper is part of a wider problem within the Mayor's office. Yet again, the Mayor has proven unable to control the actions of a member of his staff. Indeed, issues surrounding LDA grants should have been referred to an independent inquiry back in December, as we suggested.

"The Mayor's office has been put under the public spotlight, and found to be flawed. It is time that we had a new Mayor who can work to improve London instead of wasting time shielding his friends."
