Len Duvall AM: My question is for [Dr] Stephen King, it concerns the London Infrastructure Framework. You have recently released a report that calls on London to develop a central infrastructure development and delivery centre of expertise. What role would the GLA play in that?

Len Duvall AM: Thank you very much. Thank you for the way that you answered those previous questions. It is very enlightening for everyone around this table, whatever party they belong to. Also, I want to thank you for the work that you have done on your commission. It is a very important role that you have in advising and influencing the nation’s infrastructure debate.

If I can be a little more parochial and talk about London again. One of the projects halted until the 2006 Spending Review that is extremely important to London, is the phase two extension on the ELL Project. Given that there is only say a year to go to Spending Review 2006 and you have talked about the fact that you are developing capacity and putting together London Rail at the moment as a business unit, what development is going on of the business cases for phase two of the ELL extension? Especially bearing in mind that there are two...

To what extent is TfL keeping wider options of the Phase 2 of the East London Line under review - there may be a case for going ahead with both the Wimbledon and Clapham arm which would strengthen the core business case.
