I still find it extraordinary that your idea of producing facilities that are at least as good includes a facility of a road racing track that is both sides of a main road. That is just ludicrous.

When I was in the negotiations with the LDA it was never, ever suggested that the track that the Eastway Users' Group would go back to would be on two sides of a main road. I can assure you. I was there. It was never even suggested.

Can I come back to some of the specifics? Take the Eastway Users' Group specifically, which is what my prime concern is about and about which, as you know, I have been negotiating quite a lot with your officials. First of all your officials told me that British Cycling was in favour of the application that you had put in. British Cycling told me last night that they are certainly not in favour of it, and they referred me to their website. Their website describes the plans that you have as `unacceptable' and I understand from them that that has...

How much more scaling down of legacy facilities do you anticipate might take place if the ODA faces additional budget deficits, and the need to increase revenues from land sales?

Thank you. Could I deal perhaps with just two of the issues? First, I would like to talk about access via front counters. I think you rather glossed over this and, although you said they were not fit for purpose your suggestion, your suggestion was that the reason they were not fit for purpose was because they did not have enough people if you like serving behind the counters. Would you not agree that it is an appalling design, a total lack of customer focus from the people who are serving, ignoring the public, dirty front counters, no seats, long...

Since 2003/4 the budget for the Specialist Crime Directorate has decreased by £38.1 million, yet this year the number of DNA samples taken was 45,563 higher than in 2003/4. Are you concerned by the increasingly stretched resources in the Specialist Crime Directorate and the effect this could have on cases that hinge on rapid analysis of vital DNA evidence? Please explain the detail behind this data.
