Thank you, Sir Ken. I think we would all like to congratulate those success stories that you have just highlighted. Obviously the picture we are getting is that it is a patchy performance across London. Would you agree with that?

So the Chair (of LFEPA) was not right to say that it was to do with cost of refurbishing?

I was never saying the outer Boroughs should continue to have less. What I argued for was that London as a whole should have more which would mean that everybody could enjoy more, rather than some having to then lose some in order for others to gain some. It just seemed to me we were trying to cut the cake smaller. My final point would be, are you aware, Sir Ken, that the residents in the area are continuing to put together new rescue plans, and that right now they say they are talking to the Metropolitan Police about sharing...

So you are not really interested in talking to them about their proposal?

It would only work if you were plugged in with it, would it not?

I am sorry I just must comment on that, because we hear you saying that all the time about every type of finance, that the Government would not dare not give you the money, Mr Mayor, and time and time again, the Government does indeed dare not to give you the money. Therefore, I do not think that is necessarily a comfort for us to hear that from you now, and I think it is leaving it far too late, by the way, to address the overspend issue next summer when we may have already won the bid. Londoners, if...

I would just point out, since the Mayor raised it, that of course the Congestion Charge is not making anything like the money that TfL originally predicted. My third question is about the lottery game that is being set up specifically to fund the Olympics. One way, surely, that we might have been able to help Londoners a little more with their bills would have been if you had fought harder, Mr Mayor - and perhaps you still can; I am hoping that this could still be rectified - to dissuade, shall I say, Gordon Brown from lifting 12 pence...

You have, indeed, as I see, made some provision for contingencies - just over £1 billion - but I understand that is actually the sum of money that is included in what the Government has put as its overall figure. Indeed, that contingency money appears to have already been, if you like, spent up in advance on security costs and transport costs. Therefore, I am not sure that is the sort of sum of money I am looking at. It was Rt Hon Richard Caborn, the Labour Minister for Sport and Tourism, who said only last year that it is...
