I would be very interested, Mr Hendy, to see the results of that study. Just anecdotally, tipper-truck drivers do seem to drive incredibly fast and just from my observation, as somebody who did cycle in this morning, and cycles in to City Hall most days, it desperately needs attention, because there is something desperately wrong with the way in which those vehicles are used on the roads of London.

Boris, there is some work going on on the District line at the moment to improve the service, which we are all very pleased about. This I think is really a question for the Commissioner. The work that is going on at the depot in Upminster is proving to be more disruptive to neighbours than they were told it would be, with noise and working for longer hours than they were told would take place, and I think what can fairly be described as an unhelpful attitude from some of the staff in the depot when the neighbours go around...

You have just said one significant thing that I have not heard before and that is that the Commissioner himself is supportive of this line of policy. Perhaps we could have it on the record from Peter Hendy just how supportive he has because in our approaches to Government, whether it be the Prime Minister or other Cabinet Ministers, what the Commissioner for TfL might say about it would be rather important, I believe.

Just a quick follow up. I am hoping you are getting the feeling from round here that all of us are looking for a community that we can be proud of in years to come and I think that is something that we would like to see; the whole design and thought looked at from that sense of view.

Does that mean that is going to change the number of people in each room or...

Can we get the parameters very clear then. You are responsible for the build phase of the Olympic Site and the security of that build phase. You will then hand over to LOCOG who assume responsibility for the buildings and it is their responsibility for security of the delivery of the Paralympic and Olympic Games. Are you responsible for the security at Broxbourne for the waterway and at Weymouth? At what point do you hand over responsibility for the build site because I understand there are test operations that need to occur for a period of up to a year...

Gentlemen, in the current climate and with you being questioned so closely by everybody about costings, you must regret that remark by the previous Mayor about the costings for the bid being worked out on the back of an envelope? That is a question. You must regret it must you not, gentlemen? Does it make your job rather difficult?

You have already said that you would consider any form of funding. Have you considered a Sharia bond from the Islamic banks?

John, are we facing the prospect that the Olympic Village might be completely funded by taxpayers?
