In September I published a report, Radically Normal, making recommendations for how the plans for the future housing on the Olympic Park can be improved. Will you endorse these recommendations and commit to ensuring that more, larger, high-quality family-sized homes are built to the highest environmental standards?

What will your new role as Olympics Legacy Ambassador entail? What will be your key message when advising the Prime Minister on how best to secure a long-term benefit of hosting the Games?

Richard Tracey (AM): Boris, you have heard the discussion in John Biggs' question about the Stadium and indeed Dennis Hone told us at the Budget and Performance Committee that he believed it would be 2015 or 2016 before the Stadium could reopen. Can I ask you as the Chairman of the LLDC as well as the Mayor, will you set an objective of opening it before that point? I quite agree with John Biggs and the point has been made elsewhere. It would be a bit shameful if we could not reopen it before Rio has completely finished its Olympics.

Roger Evans (AM): Thank you. Mr Mayor, can you just tell us how far outside the boundary of the Olympic Park your vision is going to extend?

Thank you, madam. There is no doubt, we all agree what a phenomenal event it was, well, the two events, the Olympics and the Paralympics. It seems to me rather unfortunate that this is the one thing that seems to be besmirching the phenomenal record because it is being commented on in both the broadcast media and in the written media. There is one thing that I do not quite understand. There was a Twitter feed - I think it was called @2012TicketAlert - which could have directed people to your website when you did have unsold tickets. Is it...

Lord Deighton, what we had asked for in our meeting back in March/April - I cannot remember when it was - what we had asked for and what we received an assurance about was that we would get the data immediately after the Olympics; it would be released to us and that we would be able to make judgments about the allocations. What we received was an embargoed set of aggregated data, not the raw data that we wanted. We received an embargoed set of aggregated data one week before this meeting, embargoed until yesterday, and we get the breakdown...

Changing back to a different topic in view of some of the questions we have just had - and I am very conscious that our session this morning is time-limited, as you know - I do want to highlight in this area of what is different or what is not different the tremendous sense of participation you gave to the volunteers and to the Games Makers. I know that as you close there will be many Games Makers who think that possibly their options of other things they are going to do are going to finish. However, I know even...

Are you satisfied that the predictions made in your business plan, particularly in relation to the popularity of the Games and the events leading up to Games-time, stack up?

Clearly everybody is obsessed by tickets at the moment, for getting them or not getting them. I understand that a significant number of websites have been taken down that are offering bogus - whatever one likes to call it - tickets. Is there any particular warning that you would like to reiterate to the public of the UK about buying bogus tickets and how to avoid that problem, especially for the 100 metres final?

Mr Deighton, do hospitality providers have more than one source of tickets?
