Sir Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, has been cleared of any wrongdoing in accepting free tickets to a Taylor Swift concert worth around 3,000. An independent investigation indicated that he did not breach the Greater London Authority (GLA) code of conduct and exercised appropriate caution. The tickets were from LS Events, a GLA contractor. There was a declaration of the gift, which was marred by an administrative error. Susan Hall, leader of the City Hall Conservatives, expressed disappointment in the investigation's outcome but acknowledged the decision rests with Londoners.
An independent investigation concluded that Sir Sadiq Khan did not breach the Greater London Authority (GLA) code of conduct, and exercised an appropriate degree of caution.
Any gift accepted by the Mayor is declared openly and transparently. In this case there was an administrative error which was quickly corrected.
I am disappointed that the investigation has finished this way, but ultimately it'll be up to Londoners to decide whether the Mayor acted appropriately.
The mayor has said that he has no involvement in the procurement process for GLA events, nor in the tendering of these contracts.
