Just watching the Games you got the impression that it was a very top-down operation. Obviously the authorities in Beijing were able to direct the activities of their population, even down to telling them that they could only protest in one particular park and that type of thing. London, as you know, is very much more complex and rebellious than that. What plans have you got in place to ensure the Games can take place without making it a completely claustrophobic event for the people who have to live and work here?

Are you planning for the possibility that Crossrail might be being constructed at the same time as the Games or are you effectively leaving that out of the equation, saying, `Well, it is probably going to happen afterwards'?

Thank you. The Mayor tells us that he expects one in five Londoners to go away during the Olympics. I am not quite sure whether that is the sort of target you would have in mind. Is that something which you are relying on?

I was talking more about construction than completion because a lot of the work for Crossrail at its eastern end would be close to the Olympic Park and if it was taking place at the same time that would provide you with extra challenges that you would need to overcome. Is that something you are planning for?
