§ Mr. FitzpatrickTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what budget requirements he has set for the Greater London Authority, Transport for London, the London Development Agency, the Metropolitan Police Authority and the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority for 2000–01; and what will be the Greater London Authority's precepts for that year. [111119]
§ Mr. HillAfter considering responses to the consultation paper announced on 27 January 2000,Official Report, column 270W, I have today decided not to alter the proposed consolidated budget requirement for the GLA and functional bodies for 2000–01 of £2,178,800,000. The component budget requirements will also remain unchanged. These are:
£ Greater London Authority 32,500,000 Transport for London 9,900,000 London Development Agency 0 Metropolitan Police Authority 1,830,000,000 London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority 306,400,000 I have determined General GLA Grant at £22,300,000 and today will be issuing on behalf of the GLA precepts totalling £335,702,801. For a Band D council tax payer, this is equivalent to £122.98 a year in the London boroughs and £32.03 a year in the City, of which £1.72 or about 3p a week, is to fund the new GLA services.
