New Clause 46
Greater London Authority Bill
12:45 pm
Tom Brake (Shadow Minister, Department for Communities and Local Government; Carshalton and Wallington, Liberal Democrat)
In case the hon. Gentleman was about to conclude his comments, I just wanted to seek some clarity. The new clause refers to the office receiving the equivalent of 10 per cent. of the annual expenditure of the GLA finance department. My understanding is that there is no such thing as the GLA finance department, so did he mean to refer to the finance and performance department, which is a very large department? Is he including in his figures the people in the different functional bodies who work on financial matters? Will he give us an idea of the scale of the funding to which he is referring?
