Steve O’Connell AM: It certainly is, as I have said in this Chamber from time to time, that the Mayor gets beaten up around his policy on air quality but it is reassuring to hear that your comments are that we have the right leadership and the right set of proposals, although we do indeed need to accelerate that improvement across London.

You won't be working and planning on the Aquatics Centre alone. You are also looking at the other stadia as well. Are they also going through this natural growth process with the budget?

You knew about that. I mean, everybody knew about the land.

Are you saying then that within the budget which is within your control come 2012, there will be no further pool for uplift for that budget? You will not exceed that budget?
