David, I am actually one of the stakeholders and also of course the Royal Institute for British Architects (RIBA) are also stakeholders and neither of us is happy.

What advice will you give to the Mayor about the two different views in the proposals document about development of London? One of the views in the document is the emphasis on orbital public transport routes creating a city of interchanges.
