Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: I would like to question you about a specific part of the Mayor’s manifesto that stated that the Mayor would “make sure Londoners get a fair deal from developers”. Profits of large building firms have exploded by more than 500% in the last six years and many local authorities simply have not been able to negotiate enough affordable housing with developers over recent years. One of the issues is the expertise and this whole industry around viability assessments when experts work for the boroughs one day and then for developers the next. Can you explain how...

What role are advances in technology playing in the Brigade's work, both in terms of new challenges posed and new tools available to it, or likely to become available to it in the near future?

Do you believe that your employment targets for local people will provide the legacy that was promised in Singapore?

Just to be absolutely clear, the £1 billion, plus the inflation, will, in your view, not be exceeded in order to build these permanent and temporary facilities and to upgrade and to turn them into legacy mode, is that correct?

I have got two questions. The first is for John Armitt; could I bring you back to the budget please, and just for clarity I am talking about the £9.3 billion budget. Within that budget you have allocated just over £1 billion for venues. The press reported that the stadium costs have gone up to £500 million and that proved correct. They are also saying that the Aquatics Centre has gone up to £150 million so I am assuming, for the purpose of this discussion, that that is also correct. If that is the case it means that you have...

Can you just be clear how much the LOCOG budget is contributing to the venues?

The first question is to David Higgins. The Legacy Masterplan sets out the provisions for the Velodrome and cycling in general and we both know that both British Cycling and the user groups are not happy with this, and in fact are challenging it. I just wondered if you could perhaps update us on where you are with trying to find a way through this and trying to get an agreement that is acceptable to British Cycling and to the user groups. That is the first question. .

Mr Higgins, when you came before us in June you explained that you were going to go through the budget in detail and work it up, and we had great sympathy for that, because obviously you have got to own your budget. It looks like you have done that, and you have submitted it to Government but, at that time, you thought we would have the budget by the end of the year. It now appears that the Government is squabbling again, presumably more departments fighting with each other. Obviously the timetable for the Olympics is not elastic, and I...

So could you give us an estimated date when this Assembly will have the budget? You said it was going to be this December, what are you now saying?

If the budget is delayed by Government, for whatever reason, is it possibly that, say, by June next year we could have the budget that you are working to so that we can do our job?
