Thank you. My last question is about the budget. I understand that the budget has not been finalised, but you should surely realise that the reason we have so much concern around here is because we have not got any information. The job we are being paid to do is to monitor the delivery of the Games. We cannot actually monitor it if we do not have the budget, because we do not know whether you are going above it or below it. Now you have said that the budget that you have asked for is significantly higher than the...

I would like to know what plans are in place to make sure that the same mistakes do not happen again when there is a new Chairman appointed.

Thank you very much, Mr Mayor. We all share, among the various sentiments you have expressed, our thanks to the emergency services and to TfL. As I said to TfL, while with the emergency services we have come to expect and take for granted the high standard at which they operate, with TfL we had not been so used to such a speedy response. Five years ago, this might have been different. We have all been very aware of the public reaction. Just to mention one point: at the books of condolence here in City Hall, when I have stood...
