He will also be nominated by Johnson to be chairman of Transport for London (TfL) from 1 September.

The Mayor of London currently chairs the TfL board, but he will cease to be a member when the appointment of Parker is confirmed.

Parker will receive a nominal salary of £1 a year for his roles.

Johnson said: "Tim Parker is ideally and uniquely equipped for the huge challenge of improving the lives of Londoners and delivering value for money. His skills, insight and experience will be invaluable.”

Parker, who was chairman of the Labour Party at Oxford University said: "I relish this opportunity to bring out the best in the GLA Group. I've spent my career taking over struggling companies and making them strong.

“I see wonderful opportunities to transform the infrastructure of London and deliver better services to Londoners.”
