On this issue of economic boost, clearly it would give London and economic boost if we committed to a living wage for all the workers. Is this going to be -- I know the ODA is working with London citizens to ease this forward. Is this going to be living wage Olympics? Are we going to be globally embarrassed?

Can I come on to LOCOG? Let us talk about a deadline that LOCOG actually had, which was for a sustainability management system that was promised immediately following the election of the host city. As far as I know that still has not happened.

David, I am actually one of the stakeholders and also of course the Royal Institute for British Architects (RIBA) are also stakeholders and neither of us is happy.

Will the review also include assessments for the value of brownfield sites for biodiversity, flood management and community and recreational use as well as just development use, because one of points we made in our scrutiny report was that actually brownfield sites sometimes have far more amenity value and environmental value than greenfield sites?

OK. Our research a year ago showed that around 11 per cent of brownfield land in London had no planning permission on it at all, so that is an area around the size of Hyde Park that at the moment no-one has got a clue what to do with.

In response to the Environment Committee's Dereliction of Duty? report on brownfield development, the LDA committed to 'review of information on brownfield sites in London to establish the length of time sites have remained vacant and their potential for future use'. Can you update me on progress on this review?
