I was struck by the fact that so much legacy is going to be wrapped around Sport England and the role they are going to play in the sporting legacy. Of course, I suspect there is a problem here, is there not, because of the fact that they are, to a large extent, dependent on Lottery funding. It would seem that Lottery funding is now being very stretched indeed, given that it looks like the Lottery is going to be involved in actually bailing out large overspends should they happen. How concerned are you that Sport England is going to...

I think there are concerns here that everyone talks grandly about legacy, but actually so much of it is dependent on all the ducks being in a row, and I think perhaps that we are concerned that its intentions will not necessarily guarantee delivery. Lord Coe, I know everybody in West London is very excited that you have agreed to come to talk to the West London Alliance in May, about what West Londoners might be able to expect in terms of legacy from the Games, amongst other things. Perhaps I am being a little early in this, but I...

Or workless. They are not workless, because they are not able to work. They are doing other things. Elizabeth Howlett AM: You have hit on a bête noire of mine, I must say, because I think we have marginalised and done very badly by a whole group of youngsters leaving schools who have manual skills and do not get training.

You talked about people coming from the Asian continent with great...

: Indeed, but I think someone should ask well what would be the point in trying to get into work people who are long-term sick and disabled, who have obviously taken themselves out of work because they cannot work? What is the point of getting students into work when they are there to be studying and what is the point in spending a lot of resources on getting people to work who have chosen not to work because they are carers at home or indeed, as I have just said, there is a percentage of women who choose not to...

I am staggered by the figure of 24, because I am aware that there are a hell of a lot more businesses than 24 in that area, so it sounds to me like you have an awful long way to go. The main point I want to say to you: I do not know whether you saw some of the local businessmen, who were congregated outside City Hall this morning in advance of this meeting. I think some of them are in the audience now. They are shaking their heads in disbelief at what they just heard from you. I...

How would you define the negotiations that are ongoing with all the businesses?

Well, it is quite a long answer, is it not?

Can I just ask, then, finally, could you keep me abreast ' or all of us abreast, through the Chair ' of all the contacts you have made, and what businesses you are currently in proper negotiation with, so that we can see for ourselves what progress you are making?
