    Are you saying then that within the budget which is within your control come 2012, there will be no further pool for uplift for that budget? You will not exceed that budget?

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    How can we as an Assembly then monitor and spread confidence to Londoners about what is happening if over a period of time the projects are changing and we are not comparing like with like? I recognise the 2004 bid book did not include VAT, did not include build costs, did not include inflation.

    My final point is this: the people who have been taken for a ride here are the public, aren't they?
