Do you expect those strands to be fully funded as originally envisaged or will there have to be some cutbacks?

You mentioned the youth priorities would be one of the things the Mayor could inform us about next week. This afternoon some Members of this Assembly are meeting to update ourselves on the Time for Action strands. We do know from the information we have to date that a lot of those programmes have been put on hold because of the concern about funding --

I have a question pertaining to my area in particular and that is about the canoe venue which is going to be very near Enfield and Waltham Forest in the Lee Valley Regional Park. There have been reports this week that because the original site was contaminated, a new site may be having to be looked at. My question with legacy is this; I know with the original proposals Lee Valley Regional Park were putting in extra money, so there would be a real legacy for the area in terms of children being able to participate and a learning loop...

I wanted to ask about health and safety because we have had the draft Procurement Principles given to us and certainly the (Assembly's) Health and Public Services Committee was somewhat disappointed that health and safety and achieving good health and safety was not one of those principles. Can I just ask whether you are going to do some detailed work on health and safety and standards and also how you would monitor that not just for the principal contractors but to ensure that those health and safety standards filter down through the various subcontractors that will be used?

What I wanted to ask, and it relates to what you have just been saying, is about the capacity of the LSCs to expand their offer, if you like, to young people not only in the local area of the Olympic site but across London. There just seems to be opportunities that we can re-skill not only our young people but also those people who perhaps need to change jobs or to retrain. Are you looking at the capacity across London? There will of course be a physical capacity in terms of building space but also in terms of teachers...
