The Act gave the power to the government to override the policy of the Mayor of London and the Transport for London authority, and to enter into private partnerships for the management of the underground system by the private sector. Although the Mayor had an obligation to publish, review and implement a strategy for the management of the underground, and TFL had an obligation to run the Underground to a safe and adequate standard, it was for the Secretary of State, and not the Mayor to approve principles behind the contracts, and to direct that they be entered into.
