Can I come to the sports legacy which has been touched on briefly by Gareth on the public subsidies. I am concerned that we do not have the Wimbledon effect which is we only play tennis for a few weeks after the Games and that is it. The role you play in that: firstly, what are you doing to help the Mayor achieve his 90% community use target for the Olympic Park in legacy?

No, no, the last two. I will explain if you let me. The stadium for the Moscow 1980 Games, the first time it got used in any way was the 2008 Champions League Final, 28 years afterwards.

I will direct my comments to Roy Bishop. You can well appreciate the residents of central London are particularly concerned, because the likelihood of a catastrophic incident will be that it is one of the landmarks of central London, so I welcome your response.

Can you confirm to me that that would not adversely affect the LFB's capability of dealing with a catastrophic incident in central London?

How will the London Safety Plan assist in the preparedness of the London Fire Brigade to a catastrophic incident? What response would you give to Westminster Council who have voiced concerns about the removal of fire engines from the area?
