Andrew Dismore AM: Thank you, Chairman. Could I ask David [Bellamy] and Fiona [Fletcher-Smith]? May I explore with you the pros and cons of HS2 terminating temporarily at Old Oak Common? In July last year [2016] the Mayor said, quote: “I have been clear that I would like to understand whether HS2 could terminate at Old Oak on a temporary basis to minimise disruption and allow for a better overall solution for Euston Station. This is something that I am discussing with Transport for London.” Could you confirm what the results of that discussion were and whether Old Oak Common...

All right, David. One thing that I am a bit concerned about is that, if you look, for example, at the actual stadium and you look at the original quote of £280 million, the Government has now acknowledged it will be higher than that because of the fact that you want a legacy from it; you do not just want a temporary 80,000 seat stadium.

If you look at all the original stuff, it said, `this will be legacy'. But the rowing area now has, sort of, environmentally despoiled a wetlands area. The problem is, I cannot find any situation where I can trust claims. It all seems very pie in the sky...
