On the eve of the Mayor issuing his 2006/7 draft budget for consultation, this report sets out some criteria against which the Budget Committee will assess the draft budget. It would like any additional funding for counter-terrorism provided by Government and clarity on expenditure on the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. It is seeking rigorous examination of funding for major initiatives such as the roll out of more community policing. It would like to see increased efficiencies and savings across the GLA Group and no more than the smallest possible increase in the council tax precept. It has asked the Mayor to provide Londoners with clear information on his budget and consult upon it widely.
