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...

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?

Will young people decide how the offer money is going to be spent, and can you confirm that the targeted offer will be distributed to small groups with multiple needs?

Who is going to benefit from the 'London Youth Offer' announced on 20th September 2008?

You anticipated my next question which was, if we count the Olympics towards that target, so the real issue, as it were, is for non-Olympic area target for the rest of London that we need to highlight and make sure that that is sufficiently ambitious to give us the brownfield site to protect the greenfield and then green belt.

That is now up for renewal if it is the end of the three years so this is an ideal time for you to withhold grants.
