reports that the Mayor and Chancellor said that the Government would
support the scheme to extend the Northern Line, but it transpires all
the Government actually agreed to do was to ‘consider’ allowing the
Mayor to borrow against future tax receipts to support the scheme,
subject to a commitment by a developer to develop the site and make
the agreed contributions. Within three days Battersea Power Station's
owners went into administration.

I'm not sure how this affects plans?

I am not sure in its present form, the extension is good use of
taxpayer funds.
