OK, and the final thing; I know I threw so many questions at you, but will the targeted offer be distributed to small groups with multiple needs?

My key concern is that it is not a scattergun approach that it goes to a lot of schemes but that it is targeted on very specific small schemes where it can actually do some good. Thank you.

It seems like a very good scheme. Can I ask how this funding can be accessed by local communities?

I have a couple of specific questions; maybe I will cover them all together. First of all, is it just going to be for two years and will you ensure that the additional money will go to those schemes, many of which are working very successfully, rather than try to reinvent the wheel with trying to identify other schemes? Will young people decide how the offer money is going to be spent, and can you confirm that the targeted offer will be distributed to small groups with multiple needs?

My colleague, on my right here (Tony Arbour AM), actually has declared that he likes the Rubenesque shape rather than the skinny shape. So, can I encourage you perhaps to sponsor one of these. It is lovely. Some of us are really a bit more rounded than others and so it would be really nice to see that sort of...

Right. Can I just ask you one final question? How much money have you spent on sponsoring this event?

• Question by: Dee Doocey

I understand how the event works. In fact, in a previous life I was responsible for part of the London Fashion Week, so I know how it works and how important it is. But I have a real concern that the Mayor has a duty to promote health and well-being and to have regard to health in all of his strategies. It does not seem to fit that one of the GLA group is funding an event that is definitely encouraging skinny models, people who are just not the right role models.
