And there are long term plans for financing these facilities beyond the Games, because, as we know, swimming pools for instance, are very expensive for somebody to take on, long term?

So, for instance, in Hackney, there will be the opportunity for local communities perhaps to take over football fields, pitches and that sort of thing there?

I was listening to what you were saying to John Biggs and I take on board that you have steering groups of all sorts looking at how you develop the facilities with their legacy beyond the Games in mind. Can I just seek some clarification then? Are you saying that you already have teams of people in place who are organising proper financial and business plans for these venues, so they can be seamlessly transferred after the Games to groups who will then be taking them on to use them in the future?

A very last quick question. I do not think you can probably answer it now so I wonder whether it is something you could perhaps supply us with later on but it would be great to have a staffing structure both within LOCOG but also how you relate out to all the other organisations. Is that something you can supply us with just so that I can look at it and then understand it?

That actually jumps to my next question. I was going to say, do you have any problems when you think you have got the right person in mind and they do not want to come and do the job and do you have contingency plans when somebody turns you down? But what you are saying is that that has not happened.

I think it sounds sensible to get the guy in charge of the funding in first and I am pleased to hear that that was a top priority. Is there a strategy therefore that you had an idea about which one you needed to go to next and you had a strategy to follow, each post following the other one?
