In such a scenario, the Department would be likely to claw back the unspent part of its original £30 million contribution from Transport for London by reducing a future GLA transport grant payment. The precise amount to be clawed back in this way would be determined after consultation with HM Treasury and the Mayor.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 18/11/2016 11:46:37 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
