Returning if I may to the effects, Commissioner, of the G4S ineptitude on the boroughs. I am pleased to hear your professional judgment that you expect perhaps no further draw or demand upon those resources, but clearly that remains to be seen as it plays out. However, I respect your opinion on that. Something that worries many residents is around the pressure on the Safer Neighbourhood Teams (SNT). The Mayor has given a commitment that the Safer Neighbourhood Teams will be staffed during this period. But remember they are starting from quite a low base at the moment, already the...

When the last Government decided to set up LOCOG as a private company rather than a public agency, it was sold as a way of speeding up their procurement. After extensive questioning from all sides of this Assembly, it now appears that the motive may have been to escape the sort of standards of transparency that one would have expected from public bodies. Can you tell me, have you ever expressed dissatisfaction with the timing or quality of the information coming from LOCOG?

Richard Tracey (AM): I am grateful, Chair. Commissioner, this matter of PCSOs is really exercising the public of London. Obviously you have a lot more to do, but unfortunately there is a lot of misleading information out there and it is very good that you have, this morning, spelt out some of the reality. First of all you talked about the recruitment of new warranted officers from PCSOs which depleted the warranted officers but the main contact that the public seemed to have with the police, from the feedback I get, is when your fairly junior officers go out to...

Will your Food Strategy apply to all of the Olympic venues? I mean not just those within the Park but Weybridge, Broxbourne, Dorney Wood, Manchester United's football ground. Will it apply to all of them, even those commercial premises which you are hiring in for the period of the Games?

One of the parts of this question is about reputational risk and, Seb, in your speech when you secured the Games - I think one of the high points - was you talking about the legacy for young people in sport. One former Olympian said to me a few days ago that he was rather worried he did not see enough progress going on in this regard in setting things up for young people to secure the legacy. He said there was far too much talking and far too many scoping studies going on but not any real activity. What...

I was very pleased to hear you mention that one of LOCOG's legacies will be in 2020 to look back and see what the legacy was. How are you measuring the legacy in terms of the increase in participatory sport?

Thank you. One of your reputational risks hangs on the slogan that was used throughout the bidding process, after we got it and until today, which is 'The most accessible Games ever'. It is delivering the most accessible Games ever which you will be judged by, in many ways. Now it is relatively easy to deliver accessible Games within six stadia, however there are a number of - what I believe is called - free to view events; pentathlons, long distance walking, marathons, for those who are not aware. How are you going to ensure that the mobility impaired and...

Following on from the Cultural Olympiad, I feel that one of the most important principles that we can get across from the Olympic brand and Olympic spirit is that the pursuit of excellence need not necessarily be at the exclusion of mass participation. I think that is a very strong point to put across. I think if there is a way of tying in the Cultural Olympiad and the Sporting Olympiad so there is no gap. I am slightly worried, looking at some of the things we see with regards to the Cultural Olympiad that they are very cultural but...

At the moment you are clearly on target. What extra sponsorship do you anticipate signing up in the next, say, 12 months?
