What you actually said to Jenny (Jones) was that the flood defences will have to be improved because of environmental factors: global warming, sinking land, and the fact that the risk will have increased by 2030. Of course, we do not just flick a switch and the risk doubles in 2030; the risk is increasing all the time incrementally towards that. But you did not say anything, with respect, about the risk management element, which has to take into account the value of what you are protecting as well as the risk of something happening. I am not convinced that...

Nor, I assume, do you put your police stations and fire stations and hospitals and emergency services that will need to respond to a flood within the flood zone?

Is there a plan which is going to ensure all these things are placed back from the area that is potentially in danger?

This is all a happy accident, is it not? All of these things were going to be in place anyway regardless of whether we get the bid or not. Can you point to any material transport improvement that Londoners will benefit from specifically because we have the Olympic Games in East London, which we were not going to have before?

What are the conclusions that you draw from that model?

It sounds like you are relying on what you call operational enhancements and the Mayor's figures about the numbers going down for other reasons over the summer. Does this mean that once the Games are over there will be very little in the way of material transport improvements for Londoners to enjoy afterwards?
