Didn't he already say he wouldn't be doing anything because they've already spent so much money (sunk cost fallacy)? Is he calling for more money to be spent despite this?
He did say that, but since he said it there have been calls from whatever the trust is that 's in charge that they'll need more (much more, like £10m's) money. I think this has given him the opportunity to say that things have changed since his last announcement and presumably an excuse to cancel it.
Edit: Not quite true - some donors have pulled out, so the funding gap has increased:

Is this a good thing? I hope it's a good thing.
The goals (in particular: "To set out any lessons that should be learnt in order to improve the conduct of potential and approved projects in the future") don't leave me that hopeful, however.
