question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much of the £30 million grant to the Garden Bridge Trust has been spent to date; and whether any funding allocated to that project has been returned to his Department.
tabling member constituency	Croydon North
tabling member printed	Mr Steve Reed
uin	229175
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2019 answer text <p>Spend on pre-construction activity on the Garden Bridge project was capped at £13.5m. The former Secretary of State for Transport agreed that a further £9m could be spent on cancellation liabilities should the project not go ahead. Following cancellation of the project, the Garden Bridge Trust has submitted a claim for around £5m of cancellation liabilities. The final spend figure will be known after the standstill period of 3 months (from 13 February) which allows for any final remaining claims to come forward. We do not expect any remaining claims to be substantial. Therefore we expect the total spend to be around £18.5m with £11.5m returned to the Department once the claim is settled.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 12/03/2019 13:24:51 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
