How concerned are you with the recent performance of London Underground?

I think that is reassuring and I am sure the IOC and Londoners will be reassured by that. In the event that there is a failure, say, on the Jubilee line during the games and you have people at the Olympic Park wanting to get down to the north Greenwich arena, will you allow spectators to travel for free on the cable car as a quick means to travel?

That was out of LU's control. Have you assured yourself that measures are in place? We have heard about the blue-light team and all the things you told us last week, and Peter and others have told us. How have you assured yourself and the IOC that things are in place and that people will be able to get around?

I think the last thing any of us want is images being beamed around the world of spectators having to be walked down the tracks and tunnels due to a broken-down train or some signalling problem or whatever, and particularly we have now heard that Jacques Rogge, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) President, may even occasionally be travelling by the Tube thanks to the pressures from you and others.

For example, we spent vast amounts of money upgrading the transport system but it is insisting that nearly half the people have got the right to use the roads.

I am not arguing with the principle. I am just trying to understand how many of the 70,000 volunteer places will actually be available if the sponsors take up their allocation and do not decide to give them to the community. How many are going to be available for the community? Is it 60,000, is it 50,000 or is it 65,000?

I will come on now to sponsorship. There have been reports in the press that sponsors are going to get an allocation of tickets, which is perfectly understandable. I suppose you share my view and hope that it will not be like Wembley, where so many of the tickets are sold to people who have no interest in football and have their back turned to the game. My main concern is it is also reported in the press that staff of sponsors are going to get the opportunity to have some of the volunteer places. First of all I want...
