On this issue of economic boost, clearly it would give London and economic boost if we committed to a living wage for all the workers. Is this going to be -- I know the ODA is working with London citizens to ease this forward. Is this going to be living wage Olympics? Are we going to be globally embarrassed?

Can I come on to LOCOG? Let us talk about a deadline that LOCOG actually had, which was for a sustainability management system that was promised immediately following the election of the host city. As far as I know that still has not happened.

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. In fact, for example, RIBA actually said `the ODA sustainability policy is a disappointing missed opportunity'. From our point of view, we do not how you can call some of these measures exemplary, you know, when they will already be backed by Building Regulations by 2010. It has got to be bigger than something we are getting two years before the Olympics. You know, whether it is water usage, or the energy...

Forgive me, I do not doubt your intention to make this the greenest Olympics ever. I do not doubt that, but I do doubt your ability to do it without really good advice. One of the big issues that really offends me is there is going to be a commission for sustainable London 2012, and there seems to be delays in getting this going and the fact is you need that scrutiny body. It is very, very important for you to have that, because there is expert advice there, on hand, with an overview of the sort of thing that...

One of the reasons I put this question is because when we actually got the Met to take up the reduction of road death and casualties as a priority I really felt that the argument had been won.

A couple of years ago I went around to about a third of the boroughs to talk to the borough commanders about the issue of road crime and ask them what resources they were putting towards road safety. At the time they said it was not a priority for them, although they would love to do it and saw the value. It is now a priority for the Met, but I still do not see any real understanding of that in the boroughs. What can you do about it personally, Commissioner?

You mentioned the debate at the moment about the use of safety cameras. I wonder if it is time you actually stood up and said safety cameras are there to save lives; it is speed that kills and not safety cameras. Is that something you would be prepared to make a statement on?
