Sadiq Khan says he does not think a bedbug infestation will spread to London's transport network.
London mayor Sadiq Khan says everything is being done to ensure the bedbug infestation seen in France will not spread to the city's transport system.
"Regular cleaning of Tubes and buses, and I'm talking to the Eurostar as well, we have one of the best regimes for cleaning our assets... for a variety of reasons we don't think those issues will arise in London - but there will be no complacency from TfL," he added.Bedbugs are small insects, with adults reaching about 5mm in length and are oval-shaped. They have six legs and can be dark yellow, red or brown.
"The textile surfaces on all of our trains are cleaned thoroughly on a regular basis and this involves hot water injection and extraction cleaning, which is highly effective in eliminating bedbugs," its statement added.
