I do not think Mrs Howlett is suggesting that it did come from you. She is just asking if there is any truth in it?

In his remarks to the Idaho Statesman, Jack Lemley said that political disputes will make the Olympics come in late and over budget. Is he telling the truth, or is he deliberately trying to mislead?

Mr Lemley was also concerned about soaring costs. Given that you are going to the Treasury to ask for extra money for the regeneration that was promised, why was the Olympic Delivery Authority not upfront about the real cost of the promised legacy from the outset?

Existing planning permission for the Stratford City development specifies that a minimum of 2% of energy requirements of the development be provided from locally resourced renewable energy. This is a long way short of the commitment in Towards a One Planet Olympics for an 'Athletes' Village capable of being energy self-sufficient'. As part of the Athletes' Village will now be sited within the Stratford City development, will the ODA seek new planning permission, specifying the Athletes' Village as a Zero-Energy Development? If not, how will the ODA ensure that the Athletes' Village is "energy self -sufficient"?
