I, Philip Graham, of the Greater London Authority,  give notice that I have the following Disclosable Pecuniary Interests being of a description specified in the Relevant Authorities (Disclosable Pecuniary Interests) Regulations 2012/1464 and others considered appropriate to be declared.

• My wife is a Teaching Assistant, Ambler Primary School & Children's Centre London N4 (employed by London Borough of Islington).

2. Details of any payment or provision of any other financial benefit (other than from the GLA) made or provided within the last 12 months in respect of any expenses incurred by me in carrying out my duties as a member, or towards my election expenses. (This includes any payment or financial benefit from a trade union).

• None

3(a). Details of any contract which is made between (i) myself (or my partner) and (ii) the GLA under which (a) goods or services are to be provided or works are to be executed and (b) which has not been fully discharged.

• None

3(b). Details of any contract which is made between (i) a firm in which I (or my partner) is a partner and (ii) the GLA under which (a) goods or services are to be provided or works are to be executed and (b) which has not been fully discharged.

• None

3(c). Details of any contract which is made between (i) a body corporate of which I (or my partner) is a director and (ii) the GLA under which (a) goods or services are to be provided or works are to be executed and (b) which has not been fully discharged.

I was a member of the board of Future of London (FoL) from April 2023 until I resigned from the Board in June 2025.  I do not know if my resignation has been registered formally yet with Companies House.

FoL is a not-for-profit Company Limited by Guarantee, whose aim to is ‘help build better cities through knowledge, networks and leadership.’ The GLA is a long-standing member and funder of FoL, and for that reason (together with its central role in London government) is allocated a place on the company’s Board.

FoL has received c. £120,000 of grant funding from the GLA over the past two years, comprising:

• Good Growth Directorate membership: £10,381 for 2 years (including 2 places on its leadership programmes for GG staff)
• Housing and Land Directorate membership: £10,381 for 2 years (including 2 places on its leadership programmes for H&L staff)
• Sponsorship of the FoL-convened ‘Council-led Housing Network’ (funding from H&L budget) - £40,800
• Course places on FoL’s Housing Development Academy - £46,680
• Additional course places on FoL-led leadership programmes - £11,424
• Places on FoL Financial Appraisals and Viability training - £1,044
• Membership of the Executive Director Growth Network - £642 (funding from London Recovery Programme budget)

The GLA (including Good Growth) has also purchased additional places on FoL’s programmes for members of staff in the past, and may do so again in future years.

It is also likely that relevant Directorates and Units of the GLA will continue to wish to be members of FoL and of relevant networks that it convenes or runs.  If any subsequent funding decisions are taken which draw upon the Good Growth budget, I will ensure that they are independently signed off, and that I do not act as the final decision-maker.

3(d). Details of any contract which is made between (i) a firm or a body corporate that in the securities of which I (or my partner) has a beneficial interest and (ii) the GLA under which (a) goods or services are to be provided or works are to be executed and (b) which has not been fully discharged.
