Lead off question - Delays to Crossrail (Supplementary) [4]

Mike Brown MVO (Commissioner, Transport for London):  Obviously, it is early days in terms of the assessment of any additional cost over and above the £300 million that was agreed in the written Ministerial Statement from the Transport Minister that the Mayor, as Chair of the TfL Board, had authorised the sign‑off for, and which we had made provision for within our budget in year to ensure we could deliver that.  However, I will tell you and the rest of your Assembly Member colleagues that I have a meeting this afternoon with the DfT and Her Majesty’s Treasury to, of course, explore potential further challenges and how we work together collectively to ensure we can address those.
