Ok, I am grateful for that. I take it from your reply that the review will look at whether there are other lessons about the way we respond to anxieties without accident records.

Can I ask one tiny supplementary which is a little bit tangential? I understand that Queen Mary College - which is a university round the corner from where I live and just down the road from Stratford - has made its student village - about 3,000 properties - available for the entirety of the Olympics.

I do appreciate that most of the questions we want to ask you are probably subject to commercial confidentiality and so the last thing you want to do is announce the answers in public, but I will try one and maybe you can give us a thoughtful answer on this. It is about the IBC, the Media and Broadcast Centre. Is there a risk that it might not ultimately be built where it is proposed that it be built but that an opportunity might arise out of current other developments in the property market to relocate them within the Stratford...

The success of the Walk on Wednesday incentive campaign is a credit to all those involved in making this happen, with an impressive 218,000 pupils taking part. Please could you provide me with a borough breakdown of participating schools and pupils? I assume this is more tailored to primary schools, but for clarity please could you provide figures broken down into primary and secondary schools?

Please can you breakdown your 70% target of London schools with an approved STP by April 2008. How many primary and secondary schools do you expect to have approved plans by this date? To help chart the progress towards the target of 100% of London schools with travel plans in 2 years time, will TfL be collating and publishing six monthly milestones? How many primary and secondary schools do you expect to have an approved STP by October 2008?
