The Budget and Performance Committee of the Greater London Authority Council is scheduled to meet on Monday 26 January 2026. The committee's agenda includes a review of the 2026-27 Greater London Authority Group Budget, focusing on the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) and Transport for London (TfL). Additionally, the committee will consider payments over £250 and review its work programme.

The 2026-27 Greater London Authority Group Budget

A significant portion of the meeting is dedicated to discussing the proposed 2026-27 Greater London Authority (GLA) Group Budget. This will involve putting questions to invited guests, including Sir Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London; David Bellamy, the Mayor's Chief of Staff; and Fay Hammond, the GLA's Chief Finance Officer. The committee will be examining the budget proposals for key GLA Group bodies, including the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) and Transport for London (TfL).

The report pack indicates that the committee will be reviewing background information to inform these discussions. Following the questioning, the committee is recommended to delegate authority to the Chairman, in consultation with party Group Lead Members, to agree any output arising from the discussion.

Payments Over £250

The committee is also scheduled to review a report detailing payments over £250 made by the Greater London Authority (GLA) and its subsidiaries, GLA Land & Property Ltd and London Power Corporation Ltd. This report covers the period from 14 September 2025 to 6 December 2025 and provides an analysis of expenditure by supplier and account code. The committee is recommended to note this report.
