Thank you. Ms Shawcross has the floor for a point of personal explanation because I am sure she will want to tell us she is not an outrider.

To what extent have LOCOG been successful in ensuring value for money and adequate public consultation in relation to temporary venues?

I am going to focus in on Greenwich, which, I am sure you are both aware, is becoming a slightly controversial area. A quick opening question: in the bid book the estimated cost for the temporary venues in Greenwich Park was £8.8 million. What is the current estimated cost?

And what is the answer to my question? Why did nobody provide coaches, buses or train tickets and depend on the parents driving 300-mile round trips every weekend?

My final question is to Seb. Seb, does it worry you, as I am sure it should, that we keep reading things in the press about divers having to go to Sheffield and cyclists having to drive round the M25 in rush hour during the week in order to be able to train? Nobody could have foreseen that there were going to be problems with Crystal Palace? Surely these are the people that you are trying to inspire; these are the people that you are reaching out to so successfully. Once you realised that these people had to go to...

Lastly, can I just thank Sebastian [Coe] for his visit to my constituency and they were well received as he knows, but what he has left behind is big questions about when our young people going to be able to wear the 2012 badge like yourself and other city members! It seems a little bit odd, doesn't it? We talk about legacy in bricks and mortars and yet there is just the privileged few who are wandering around in their badges! I mean how is this? I have to say I gave my badge away when I got it at...

Can I go back to the sustainability announcement that was alluded to earlier and is presumably what you were just referring to, Seb. What is that? Is that further commitments or is that the reality behind the commitments that have already been given? That is the first question. Then in terms of the scope of it, you have said it was kind of biodiversity and so forth, but is it sustainability in an economic, social and environmental sense or is it essentially still environmental-related commitments?

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. This morning because of the Fire Service dispute, I intend to use my powers under Standing Order 2.40 first to take an item of urgent business, which is a statement from the Chair of LFEPA and to vary the order of business to take that first. I imagine the Mayor, when he arrives, will also want to say something on this matter, as part of his update. What I intend to do is to allow 25 minutes of questions on the Mayor's update during which period questions will also be addressed to the Chair of...

Would the Chair of LFEPA accept that from the Liberal Democrats side we have been supportive of the basic position that more money is possible and is justified but only in return for modernised working practices? And if so, will she accept that too few people in the public, in the media, actually understand the extent of the current practices and what is required? Will she agree to make it clearer exactly what changes we are asking for in terms of working practices? Because most people simply do not understand how inflexible they are. As far as the Mayor is...

I read in the newspapers that the Bain Report terms of reference were not actually agreed by the union and that they were very unhappy with the terms of the report. Now, the result of the report is absolutely dependent upon the terms that you set at the beginning. Is it true that the union was unhappy with it?
