Richard Tracey AM: I must say that all the foreign visitors I talk to, whether I know them well or not, complain about the large numbers in central London now. It is a buzzy city but it is also, they feel, very crowded, extremely busy and quite tiring. This is a well‑targeted question that Tony Arbour [AM] has put to you about outer London. Can I ask you what you are doing particularly? How much are you spending to encourage people to take a river cruise? Indeed, they will reach Tony Arbour’s constituency. Tony Arbour AM (Deputy Chairman): They will...

Richard Tracey AM: Can I just ask you one or two more questions about the European dimension? It is right, is it not, that more Americans visit London as a tourist destination than any other European city? Is it also not correct that there is more trade done by this country - and by London, obviously - with Asia and with the Americas than, indeed, with Europe? My question to you, really, is: are you intending to ask a specific question in any survey you do of tourists particularly about the attractions of London as opposed to Europe or in...

Thank you, madam. There is no doubt, we all agree what a phenomenal event it was, well, the two events, the Olympics and the Paralympics. It seems to me rather unfortunate that this is the one thing that seems to be besmirching the phenomenal record because it is being commented on in both the broadcast media and in the written media. There is one thing that I do not quite understand. There was a Twitter feed - I think it was called @2012TicketAlert - which could have directed people to your website when you did have unsold tickets. Is it...

Gentlemen, about three or four weeks ago there was a Channel 4 Dispatches programme on which indeed Dee Doocey and my colleague Andrew Boff were fairly major contributors. I think that a lot of the problems that we have already been talking about this morning were dealt with in that programme, or those questions were raised, can I ask you whether you two can confidently refute the various allegations that were made in the Dispatches programme or not?

Part of the business plan, as you set it out, was of course about transport and traffic, and the part I want to concentrate on is the Games Lanes. There seems to be a little bit of confusion. In the last few days, there has been some suggestion that you may be allowing some other people into the network. Can you specify? Are you going to suddenly allow in black cabs and non-emergency vehicles, funeral corteges? Can you give us some detail, please?

Can I just say, first of all, I am very pleased you have been to Wimbledon to talk to them and to start to look at their ticketing because it is something that you, Paul, will know we are very proud of in South West London, the techniques that have been built up at Wimbledon. The question I want to ask you, though, in terms of lessons from Beijing is this one: there was, frankly, some disappointment expressed at the way London was symbolised at the Closing Ceremony in Beijing. I do not know whether you two were proud of...
