I have a couple of questions and I will start with Manny [Lewis]. You spoke about having achieved over 800 training courses to date in construction. Are you monitoring in terms of diversity ethnicity and location? If you are, can you share that information so that we can be assured that the contract that you have made with the local community and with Londoners that they will be accessing these jobs, especially in the construction industry, is being fulfilled? Second, can you tell me any more about the construction site which I have been championing to get established within Leyton...

Chair, could I just come back and say I do want your firm commitment to the extent where, will you inform us if you could utilise the TfL model and I only say that because it is in our legal structure and whenever we look abroad and we are looking to bring stuff back, then it just does not fit as well as something that we have developed. That is the cast-iron assurance that I am seeking.

These are communities finding themselves in need, but at the same time, they have the skills and the city has the...

Can I take you back to your Safety Plan? Can you tell us what measures you have taken to ensure that the needs of black and ethnic minority elders and their carers will be met at the same standard in proposals for things to be interpreted or the expensive support that your service will need to be able to do that. Are you not then going to set off and then come to a point where you then make the evaluation and say that you were not able to help black and ethnic minorities because you did not have language...
