When our colleagues from the ODA came to the Assembly's Environment Committee - and we did ask you at that point about the Waste Management Plan;, when would we see it, what broadly it would look like - you were very clear at that point that this was very much a LOCOG responsibility. I have just listened to your reply to Jenny's [Jones] question about the legacy and I am a bit concerned, and I think you should be reassuring us, because I think all of our experience as politicians in London tells us that it is often the design...

You just mentioned wind power and I gather there is an issue about possible permission for a wind turbine on the site. Will you be able to hit your 20% renewable targets if the wind turbine is turned down? Have I misunderstood that issue?

Is that over and above the 20% renewable target?

I have a letter here in my hand from the Leader of Camden Council who is speaking on behalf of Liberal Democratic/Conservative Partnership Administration, and that is what he says in his letter. I am happy to share that with you although I am really in a state of despair about what has happened here. Would you agree that one of the things that made the Croydon Tram Link Scheme happen was that the Conservatives on Croydon Council supported this project all the way through 15 years, up until it happened? That was one of the critical success factors in...

Thank you, Mayor. While the Conservatives on the Assembly were getting very excited and hyperventilating about your trip to Cuba, the Conservatives now involved in the administration of Camden Council were busily undermining the Cross River Tram.

I think he was quoted in the report, and I am sure he will come in. Can I just move onto our Chairman's comments about building multi-story car parks on Potters Field? I do not want to belabour this one; I am actually torn between thinking `Oh that is just our Chairman making another bonkers statement in order to get into the press'- and he rather likes doing that, does he not - and actually reacting to some of the alarm there was in the community. There were certainly serious reports in Southwark News where Councillor Coleman says, 'I think...

Thank you, and welcome David. We wish you well in a very difficult job. Of course, many of the Members around the room here represent boroughs outside of the immediate five around the site where there are, actually, very high levels of unemployment. We are interested in access to employment for Londoners and, in particular, unemployed Londoners. You mentioned that you were going to encourage contractors to recruit smaller contractors within London. Obviously I think many of the small and medium sized enterprises in London tend to be the ones that employ people who live in London. There will be...

Have you set targets to monitor against?

In fact, I think you mentioned that you are letting remediation contracts tomorrow, so there are already some very big, high level contracts going out, and this is in advance of the setting up of the business club. We heard, I think, from the Chamber of Commerce last October that from their research businesses do consider that there is a serious lack of information currently available. How have things moved on from there, and how are small and medium sized enterprises in London going to be benefiting from subcontracting, from the contracts that are going to be let in the...

So how do you know they are going to be recruiting staff in London rather than going, say, to Eastern Europe to be recruiting people?
