To save time here, I would be grateful if we could be sent that costing assessment, and if you also have any assessment of the costing, as you rightly say, of the social and health infrastructure, that would be helpful

That would be helpful for the Assembly to have. The final question I wanted to ask was this: given that much of the infrastructure and demands do not stop at the Greater London boundary, what joint work has been done with, for example, Essex and Kent County Councils and the surrounding regions to see (a) what can be done to make sure that the infrastructure provision is properly aligned and (b) what economies of scale and what joint lobbying work can be done to advance the Gateway issue?

It would be very helpful to have the costings as far as they go on infrastructure issues. How advanced are we in terms of who is going to pay for all of this?

Perhaps I can come in as the person whose constituency actually includes Crystal Palace. Surely, it would be a pretty untenable Olympic bid that had no role for the one venue in London which is capable of dealing with grand prix athletic sports events. Can I ask again, what specific role do you envisage Crystal Palace playing a) in the run-up to the Games, b) during the Games, and c) as part of the legacy?

I am afraid you did not, that is why I am pressing you.

I am afraid your comments sit rather ill with those of the Mayor when he visited Bromley and told both the Bromley local papers that he saw Crystal Palace as being `within the Olympic footprint'. And he went on to say `My preference is for it to be part of the Olympic site." Clearly, you and the Mayor are at variance on that one.

Well, I find that a more constructive exchange, if I may say, because it may be, Ms Cassani, that you are not aware that there has been some very constructive dialogue going on between all the parties. And the more that that is fed into your bid team the more we are likely, I suspect, to get together the sort of joined-up approach that we all want to see as far as Crystal Palace is concerned. Perhaps we can pursue it further elsewhere.
