Léonie Cooper AM: Thanks very much. I wanted to ask Sir John Armitt a question and, if we could be brief, that would be really helpful. It is nothing to do with fluffy projects. By the way, I will just reveal that Assembly Member Devenish recently acquired a dog, which is why he is slightly obsessed with fluffy projects at the moment. Keith Prince AM: Nice segue. Léonie Cooper AM: I wanted to ask you if you actually think overall whether or not sufficient attention is paid to the journey towards net zero in all of our assessment of infrastructure...

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. At the beginning you talked about getting the balance right between a winning bid and a bid that spreads the benefits around London and so forth. I am optimistic that is not a question of trading one off against the other. You said that part of the winning was about involving...
