Tony Devenish AM: I have two questions, the first one for Mr Bellamy. Good morning, David. Yesterday TfL put out a press release where it boasted that there is an extra 19,000m 2 of space in central London for cycling and walking that has been created over the last few weeks, ie I presume there is 19,000m 2 roughly less road space. I am glad you mentioned the point of Saturday and the good news that the pubs are opening on Saturday. Do you worry, as some people have said to me, that Saturday will be a tipping point, where...

- Question by: Lord Bailey of Paddington

Earlier on you talked about everybody being worried about a second outbreak, and of course that is correct, but what constitutes an outbreak? Is there a pre-planned level where something clicks in?

Yes. I would like to know exactly how you carried out your investigation; for example, did you interview the whistleblower, Brenda Stern, as to the allegations which she made and which were repeated in the Evening Standard?

Yes, thank you very much, so that is an internal review. Your conclusions in the report, which I have read and which were submitted to the LDA Board, really put it in these terms, do they not, as Mike Tuffrey has said; in a nutshell, of the six you concentrated on, four require further work, three of those specifically involve the police and we do not know whether Brixton Base will involve the police or not because it is too early to say yet; you need to do further work. Is that a fair conclusion?

Mr Travers, you have already made it clear, and I think it follows, that you did not speak to people who are not employees of the LDA. Does that mean you did not speak to Mr Jasper?

So, two thirds of the six you concentrated on require further work. You make the point in your report, 'Further work is required in respect of four organisations including referral to police and no conclusions are reached in respect of those matters' for the reasons you have sensibly set out?

Have you referred it then fully to the District Auditor and said, 'We think there is further work that needs to be done'?

Or any of the people who are involved in the running of the organisations, obviously?
