    • Question by: Steve O'Connell
    • Meeting date: 20 March 2013

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?
