Will your Food Strategy apply to all of the Olympic venues? I mean not just those within the Park but Weybridge, Broxbourne, Dorney Wood, Manchester United's football ground. Will it apply to all of them, even those commercial premises which you are hiring in for the period of the Games?

I am very grateful for the reply and I think I did catch its basic contents. I think we all welcome your commitment to legacy although, of course, you will be long gone in this capacity by the time we really discover whether there was a legacy. Do you think there is a tension between...
