(2)In carrying out a review under subsection (1), a body must use the same figures for financial reserves as those used in the calculations under review, except in the case of financial reserves to meet a revenue account deficit from an earlier financial year.
(3)If as a result of carrying out a review under subsection (1) it appears to the body that carried out the review that there has been a deterioration in its financial position, it must—
(a)take such action, if any, as it considers necessary to deal with the situation, and

(i)the Mayor of London, and
(ii)the Chair of the London Assembly.
(4)A report under subsection (3)(b) shall—

(5)For the purposes of subsection (3), there is a deterioration in a body’s financial position if on the review an amount falls to be calculated under section 85(6) of the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (component budget requirement) and—
(a)none fell to be calculated under that provision at the time of the calculations under review, or
(b)an amount did then fall to be calculated under that provision and the amount then calculated is less than the amount calculated on the review.
