I would be very interested, Mr Hendy, to see the results of that study. Just anecdotally, tipper-truck drivers do seem to drive incredibly fast and just from my observation, as somebody who did cycle in this morning, and cycles in to City Hall most days, it desperately needs attention, because there is something desperately wrong with the way in which those vehicles are used on the roads of London.

Boris, there is some work going on on the District line at the moment to improve the service, which we are all very pleased about. This I think is really a question for the Commissioner. The work that is going on at the depot in Upminster is proving to be more disruptive to neighbours than they were told it would be, with noise and working for longer hours than they were told would take place, and I think what can fairly be described as an unhelpful attitude from some of the staff in the depot when the neighbours go around...

You have just said one significant thing that I have not heard before and that is that the Commissioner himself is supportive of this line of policy. Perhaps we could have it on the record from Peter Hendy just how supportive he has because in our approaches to Government, whether it be the Prime Minister or other Cabinet Ministers, what the Commissioner for TfL might say about it would be rather important, I believe.

Mr Coleman, you touched on it just at the end of your answer to Tony Arbour's question about the bulk purchasing power. Can we be assured that the prices in the Look Book will be no more expensive because we don't have a brilliant track record of monopoly suppliers giving best value to purchasers? Can we ensure we fully utilise our joint purchasing power to ensure those prices are not going to be any higher than would be normally available on the commercial market?

I want to ask you about the bunting as well. Originally that was the only thing that was being proposed by you that I received with unalloyed joy because I thought, 'Here we are, outer London is actually going to get something. We are actually going to be able to celebrate something'. Now I hear it is some vast advertising campaign for the sponsors of the Olympics.

Mr Coleman and Mr Fihosy, you have both touched on a number of programmes that will be happening next year. Clearly there is the Olympics itself on a number of sites in and around London. There is your own programme of welcoming people and programmes that you know of at your Live sites. There are events that local authorities are putting on. There are events which local authorities are facilitating and by that I think of Jamaica celebrating 50 years of independence, Trinidad and Tobago also wanting to celebrate 50 years of independence, Brazil wishing to celebrate the fact of...

Could you tell me when residents living around Victoria Park will know the timings, access arrangements and indeed volume of the Live site there?

Could I take you back to the discussion about public services and the cost of laying on various extra public services. I accept the figures that we have been given about some of the host boroughs close to the Olympic Park - and obviously there are other colleagues that can talk about them - but there are several that do concern me. I gather that the original estimate put in by the boroughs was £63.5 million and that has been reduced by the GLA and the Government to £21 million, which is a pretty considerable reduction. Now, as I understand...

Thank you, Neale, for your briefing today. Turning back to the line of inquiry that Len Duvall was talking about, the outer London boroughs and the £50,000, I will take a slightly contrary view from some earlier colleagues. Wouldn't the man or woman on the Lewisham, Croydon, Bromley omnibus feel that they have been let down a bit? Wouldn't they be disappointed with the fact that they are only getting £50,000, although the fact is they are contributing? Wouldn't they find it quite odd that all these other boroughs are whingeing that they are not getting enough money when they...
