Ofcom looked into were the documentary's coverage of the congestion charge and the 'oil for transport' deal with the Venezuelan government

The two main issues Ofcom looked into were the documentary's coverage of the congestion charge and the 'oil for transport' deal with the Venezuelan government. C4 said that the programme examined the issue of the congestion charge with due impartiality and that the former mayor's position was fairly reflected. Ofcom also concluded that the Venezuelan 'oil for transport' deal had been addressed with due impartiality and that the former mayor's reasons for entering into the deal were fairly reflected in the programme, together with the views of those opposed to it. The watchdog also said that Martin Bright's personal interests were made clear at the start of the programming and that his role was primarily to present the findings of the Dispatches production team's investigation and not give his personal views about Livingstone and the office of mayor."
