Jennette Arnold (Deputy Chair): Yes, Chair, thank you. I want to take you back to the area that John was asking you about. Thank you for welcoming the fact that there were some disappointments regarding the LDDC in the fact that it did not deal adequately with the social legacy. What assurances will we have from an MDC to get us the social legacy that is so required within this area? Sir Simon Milton (Deputy Mayor and Chief of Staff): The assurance you have, Jennette, is that the whole purpose of setting this up is to help achieve the convergence...

Thank you for what you said about land acquisition. I certainly welcome the settlement that has been made with KICC, as it is within my constituency, and it is right to see fair treatment to this organisation. The concerns I have are about the smaller communities, mainly the traveller communities. I know we are down the way with the resettlement of the Hackney traveller community, they were expressing concerns to me last week about members of other traveller communities within the five Borough Zone. I want you to reaffirm your commitment to ensuring that the traveller communities will get fair...

I understand that some roads, cycle ways and footpaths will be closed next year as we embark on works to build the Olympic Stadium. What are the implications of this closure for access to the cycle and pedestrian path which go around the cycle circuit over the A12 towards Stratford?

I've got three questions I would like to put to the Mayor. Can I just start off Mayor, by saying to you, in the words of one of my constituents, Roger Gillam, well done to you and TfL and all the staff. He talks about the fact that we in North East London are absolutely delighted that you have brought forward some of the planned work from phase two into phase one; that's excellent.

No, I am going on to that, if you do not mind. The issue that he (Mr Gillam) has highlighted to me just last night in a four page letter is, you talked about the £2.1 billion and of course the revenue stream associated with that for the payback, but does that cover the necessary work that is needed in terms of extending the platforms? We would be unhappy if we're just going to stay with the three line track that exists; We would still be pushing for the four line alignment. Can we be assured that this package will...

Can I just add to the statistics that you have got there, that I was at a conference two days ago, and what we learnt there, from the latest figures, was that tobacco companies need over 700 people a day ' this is young people, under 20 ' to start smoking, and that is why this is such a critical issue.

I want to come back to you David (Lunts). You talked about the spend on (section) 106 (planning) gain and, when you see a planning application, everybody is rushing to benefit from the 106 gain. Can you clarify, whose 106 gain is it? Is it the boroughs? Is it the LDA's? And what lever do you as the GLA have to pull if it is the borough or if it is the LDA? Let us have some clarity on the record about who is responsible for 106 spend around the whole Olympic site or going as far out as Thames...

I have got some specifics, if I could follow up Marc with what you have said so far. My questions are about, one about process and I want to then target on particularly young people. Also, I just want to start off by touching on the amount that has been quoted. Many of us round here with the experience of local government and regeneration and skills arena, we know that £9 million ' I mean it is an awful thing to say ' does not buy much. In terms of this spend, the way that you are talking in generalities...

This information will be available what, after January, after you have got total sign up from the boroughs or is this now available from yourselves?

Finally, can you just tell me about the links that you have currently with the London Skills Councils, who have a great deal of money and how you are going to then get a bolt onto that pot?
