Lord Deighton, what we had asked for in our meeting back in March/April - I cannot remember when it was - what we had asked for and what we received an assurance about was that we would get the data immediately after the Olympics; it would be released to us and that we would be able to make judgments about the allocations. What we received was an embargoed set of aggregated data, not the raw data that we wanted. We received an embargoed set of aggregated data one week before this meeting, embargoed until yesterday, and we get the breakdown...

Lord Coe, you know those annual letters you get about your pension and they send it off to you and they say, 'This is your predicted benefits from your pension'? One thing I do know is yours is probably a little more optimistic than my letter, but when was the last time that letter actually said to you, 'We are not going to tell you now about these benefits because it is ever-changing and too complicated for you to understand, but what we will do is we will let you know when you retire'?!

Just following on from Navin's [Shah] comment, on the cultural side you mentioned in your opening remarks that 286 cultural events had taken place in the Cultural Olympiad, which is great.

I know. That is the problem. However, it is not just about role models. It is not just about the Tanni Grey-Thompsons of this world. It is not just about the Mike Braces. It is about community sport because surely the legacy of the Paralympics must be that people with disabilities, and in particular young children with disabilities, should be able to look at the Olympics, become inspired and say `I could do that'. However, there is no point in thinking `I could do that' if there are then no sports facilities locally to enable them to do it.
