Boris Johnson vows to end corruption

The capital’s new Mayor set up a “forensic audit group” of leading business people and public figures that he said would end mismanagement and deliver better value for money for taxpayers.

The panel will be led by former Sunday Telegraph Editor Patience Wheatcroft who is currently a Non Executive Director of Barclays PLC and Shaftesbury PLC.

The group will look into claims of financial mismanagement and lack of control at the London Development Agency and the Greater London Authority.
