Clause 12
Greater London Authority Bill
4:00 pm
Tom Brake (Shadow Minister, Department for Communities and Local Government; Carshalton and Wallington, Liberal Democrat)
I support clause 12. We support the principle of separate component budgets but, as the spokesman for the official Opposition—the hon. Member for Surrey Heath—says, we have concerns about the assembly’s budget. Those concerns are reflected in the amendments that are associated with clause 13, so I suspect that we will have a much longer debate on that clause.
