Questions for the Government over the lack of progress on light rail.

It's spending $16 million on scope to cost the next phase of light rail in Auckland, a $14.6 billion project.

More than two-thirds of the almost $66 million already spent on the project has gone to consultants - with none yet spent on construction.

National Transport spokesperson Simeon Brown told Kate Hawkesby it's become a circular economy.

He says the Government has failed light rail it had said would be completed by 2021.
