Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: I am increasingly concerned as to whether Stratford Station can safely meet growing passenger demand. Stratford Station is dangerously overcrowded, with well over 40 million passengers using the station a year, from only 12 million a decade ago. I understand plans to address overcrowding are looking solely at Stratford regional station, yet Stratford International could help relieve the situation. What are you doing to look at expanding the use of Stratford International Station to deal with this increase in demand?

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: Thank you. We have heard a lot about the London Stadium but there are five different Olympic sporting venues in the Olympic Park. Two of these are the [Lee Valley] Hockey and Tennis Centre and the [Lee Valley] VeloPark, but they are owned and run by the Lee Valley Regional Park Authority, which Londoners all contribute to. What kind of relationship do you have with that Authority as the new Chief Executive and are you considering, or are you looking at developing, a joint strategy with that Authority to explore how together you can better deliver...

Just following on from Navin's [Shah] comment, on the cultural side you mentioned in your opening remarks that 286 cultural events had taken place in the Cultural Olympiad, which is great. Have you got an indication of how many of those were run by the third sector and how many of them were run by ethnic minorities?

You have made it very clear that when the Games are on you are responsible for the security within venue, you said, so within, for example, the Park. Given that there have been huge numbers of break-ins over the years into train and Tube depots, how are you going to ensure that public transport does not pose a security threat, particularly when you have got lines bisecting the Park, going around the Park and, I think, possibly even under the Park?

A year before the occasion that Darren mentioned, there was a letter sent to London Citizens to which you, Seb, were a signatory, which said indeed that the strategies would be informed by the commitment to identify a living wage. I accept that is not a commitment but in line with your concerns about transparency, how are Londoners to know to what extent your decisions are informed by that?
