Thank you, Chair. I would like to take a step back as we look towards legacy. We are all aware in this Chamber that the host boroughs of east London are some of the poorest locations in the capital. 70,000 unemployed adults are in the seven east London boroughs that neighbour the Olympic site.

Thank you, Chair. I have got a number of questions. Firstly, to go back to what John was talking about, on the people legacy. The Olympic Park set itself benchmarks, as you know, Margaret.

I am interested in the cost of running the sports venues once they are into legacy mode. I understand that the OPLC will be responsible for the Stadium, the Aquatics Centre, the mixed sports venue and the tower. Do you expect the sports venues will require public subsidy once they are in legacy mode to keep them afloat, or will they stand on their own two feet?
