Obviously we are at a fairly early stage of the process on some of these. I understand why Jenny (Jones) is raising the issue, but can I just have a commitment that as well as turning the policies into guidelines, you will also have some very clear targets or achievable goals particularly in relation to the legacy, so that in relation to this whole question of sustainability, and particularly in this question on food, we can actually see some legacy effects as well on this rather than just the Games themselves?

I am pleased with what you said about the registering of volunteers. I know that New York and some of the continental bids are perhaps a little ahead of us, so it is good to know where we are catching up. I wanted to press you a little harder.
