Caroline Russell AM: Thank you, Chairman. I want to ask about the experience of the passengers who are waiting to use this line but before I get on to those questions I want to pick up on something that Sir Terry said at the very beginning. You said, “We mitigated one risk and others materialised”. I wonder if you could expand on that a bit more, whether that is what has caused this decision about the delay.

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. Is that figure still roughly the same according to your information?

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?
