Could you tell me what role the OPLC will have in consulting the populated parts of the proposed MDC?

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?

Can we return to the subject of converting the venues please. Baroness Ford you said to the Select Committee a year ago that an additional £450 million might be required for conversion after the Games and you were going to go through this estimate line by line to work out exactly how much would be required. Have you reached a conclusion on that exercise?

I would like to know when and how much you expect to generate from the capital receipts for the five neighbourhoods on the Olympic Park? It is of extreme importance to the boroughs that we should get some sort of handle on this because this is the only way that Londoners who contributed to the cost of the Olympics are likely to get a dividend. Have we got a bottom figure? I have listened to you several times say that really you are not trying to evade financial questions and you are working very hard on it but you must...

Can I press you a bit harder on the document Keep on Running and your advice in it to businesses to reduce non essential journeys and avoid travel where possible. Is there, lurking behind this warning, a real worry in your minds that, despite all the Tube upgrades and all the other measures that have been put in place and the forward planning, the transport infrastructure really is creaking and possibly will not be able to cope?

We have been talking about various obvious areas of legacy but there is one piece of legacy that is to the very front of the Mayor's mind and that is the upgrading of the use of the river and river transport. I must declare an interest of helping him particularly in this. Can I ask you why it is that, in the transport planning, the provision of free travel to Olympic ticket holders on the Underground, the overground and the buses, there does not appear to be any such free travel to encourage people to use the river? As I...

I would like to go back to the risks question on security please. Could you talk a little bit more please about both the cost and the personnel issues? We talked about the training venues. I want to know a bit more about who will be responsible for the security of those, because you mentioned they were during the Games? How are you doing that? Also, the cost for us of that? That is not only at the venues but the transportation.

Would you have any objections to an independent review of the remediation of the Olympic land?
