): I am sure Members will have detailed questions on that wider experience and the work you are doing to keep the capital moving and so forth. All that good work though will be lost if the message does not get out that the wider Games experience has been a success. So I just wanted to start by concentrating on the narrow but important point of the non-accredited media and your arrangements around that, and I am sure the Members will widen it from there. As I understand it, there is about 20,000 or so expected on the accredited side...

I don't know whether this question would be for Neale or Vince. I want to pick up the issue of all these events that are going to be happening across London and I know there is the London Events Coordination Calendar and there is the Culture Diary. I think, in your recent answer to my colleague Dee Doocey, you said there were already over 4,000 events in the Culture Diary. However, you closed those diaries at the end of March, which seems a bit strange to me when clearly people would still be planning their events. I am told, looking...

Dee Doocey (Chair): We are now moving on to the session on the Mayoral Development Corporation (MDC). Can I start off the session by asking you, Simon, please can you explain the Mayor's proposals to create a MDC for the Olympic Park area?

Can I just understand the numbers a bit better. You talked about the £56 million that was all that was committed up to now but we have got £85.6 million in the budgets for this current year. Is that £85.6 million funded or is there now more in this current year, 2011/12, than that number?

To pick up from what John was asking you, will you ensure that borough councillors and borough representatives will be on the new Board and representatives of the local communities?

In the minute or two left I do not have the time to debate the sweep of the abolition of the Greater London Council (GLC) because it was too interventionist, the strategic role this body was meant to have and now a much more interventionist, but I think many of us round here would be very concerned at planning powers being taken off boroughs as a way of doing business. First question then, very quickly, do you agree that, if we are to go down this MDC route, there should be a very tight set of objectives and time limited...

Sorry, can I stop you there. There are new powers for boroughs to monitor them, but there is no new money for boroughs to do it. Without the funding it is very difficult to see how boroughs can monitor Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs).
