Tomorrow, the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, will present his Draft Consolidated Budget for 2020/21 to London Assembly Members.
The Draft Budget includes the following component budgets:
• Greater London Authority: Mayor of London and London Assembly
• Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (including the Metropolitan Police Service budget)
• London Fire Commissioner
• Transport for London
• London Legacy Development Corporation
• Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation
After questioning the Mayor, the Assembly will consider the Mayor’s draft Consolidated budget and whether to approve it, with or without amendment. Amendments are subject to securing the support of a simple majority of the Assembly Members present and voting.
This is the first of a two-stage budget-setting process and the Assembly is due to make a final decision on the budget at the London Assembly (Mayor’s Question Time) meeting on Monday 24 February 2020.
The meeting will take place on Wednesday, 29 January from 10am in The Chamber at City Hall (The Queen’s Walk, London SE1).
Media and members of the public are invited to attend.
The meeting can also be viewed LIVE or later via webcast or YouTube
