Will your Food Strategy apply to all of the Olympic venues? I mean not just those within the Park but Weybridge, Broxbourne, Dorney Wood, Manchester United's football ground. Will it apply to all of them, even those commercial premises which you are hiring in for the period of the Games?

One of the parts of this question is about reputational risk and, Seb, in your speech when you secured the Games - I think one of the high points - was you talking about the legacy for young people in sport. One former Olympian said to me a few days ago that he was rather worried he did not see enough progress going on in this regard in setting things up for young people to secure the legacy. He said there was far too much talking and far too many scoping studies going on but not any real activity. What...

I was very pleased to hear you mention that one of LOCOG's legacies will be in 2020 to look back and see what the legacy was. How are you measuring the legacy in terms of the increase in participatory sport?

Thank you. One of your reputational risks hangs on the slogan that was used throughout the bidding process, after we got it and until today, which is 'The most accessible Games ever'. It is delivering the most accessible Games ever which you will be judged by, in many ways. Now it is relatively easy to deliver accessible Games within six stadia, however there are a number of - what I believe is called - free to view events; pentathlons, long distance walking, marathons, for those who are not aware. How are you going to ensure that the mobility impaired and...

Following on from the Cultural Olympiad, I feel that one of the most important principles that we can get across from the Olympic brand and Olympic spirit is that the pursuit of excellence need not necessarily be at the exclusion of mass participation. I think that is a very strong point to put across. I think if there is a way of tying in the Cultural Olympiad and the Sporting Olympiad so there is no gap. I am slightly worried, looking at some of the things we see with regards to the Cultural Olympiad that they are very cultural but...

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?

Understood. Then, quite separately, as you also point out in your report, there is a separate police investigation into the Green Badge Taxi School which you are cooperating with?

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?

But none of the organisations have received grants?

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?
