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.

Lord Coe, lest the British public think that the only option they have is a Veggie Burger or a Big Mac, can you please assure both this Assembly and London, the wider public, that your food policy has achieved an enormous range of food outlets across the Park, that McDonald's have only two outlets, I understand, at the Park, and there are another 150 others?
