On the Government cuts agenda, Chairman, as a right wing cost-cutting Conservative you have made -- Brian Coleman AM (Chairman, LFEPA): I am deeply grateful for that comment! Darren Johnson (AM): -- clear your enthusiasm for the Government's cuts agenda. Do you believe that 25% should apply to the Fire Authority, or should it be exempt?

Chairman, I do not imagine anyone would pretend that you have had the best of relationships with the FBU but there are a number of people on LFEPA who have much closer links with the unions.

Can you confirm that you have sufficient contingency funding and that will cover any slippage or any delays in programme or additional costs and that, therefore, there will be no requirement for building from the public purse or any other source?

Thank you, Chair. I would have thought one of the greatest risks that you actually run is the security of the site during build and, indeed, during the Games itself. Are you content that the structure, where you have got Ian Johnson now heading security, I assume within the Park? I am not sure if he has got responsibility for all the 134 sites plus the free to view Games. You have got him there. You have got the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) through Chris Allison [Assistant Commissioner, Central Operations, Metropolitan Police Service] and the public order with the responsibility...
