  • Long-term infrastructure funding

    • Reference: 2013/0978
    • Question by: Steve O'Connell
    • Meeting date: 20 March 2013
    London First has called on the Government to give City Hall London's share of national tax revenue directly, rather than funnelling it through Whitehall. London First argue that the current arrangements create a 'stop-start' situation with regard to funding large infrastructure projects, such as the tube upgrades, making long-term planning difficult. Is this a view that you share? Will the London Finance Commission be considering this proposal?
