Asked by: Baroness D'Souza (Crossbench - Life peer)
Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have oversight of sector expenditure by the Greater London Authority.
Answered by Baroness Taylor of Stevenage - Baroness in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip)
Full details of expenditure undertaken by the Greater London Authority are set out in the Mayor’s budget published annually and scrutinised by the London Assembly.
From April 2026, the Greater London Authority will receive an Integrated Settlement covering Economic Development and Regeneration, Housing and Planning, Adult Skills and Employment Support, Environment and Net Zero, and Health Wellbeing and Public Service Reform.
The GLA will be held to account for delivery of outcomes associated with the functional responsibilities of the settlement, which are published on gov.uk. The outcomes framework that the GLA agrees with central government will provide a structured approach to defining, measuring and reporting on the GLA’s performance on Integrated Settlement delivery during the Spending Review period. The outcomes framework will be published in due course.
