Why do you refuse to publish a detailed breakdown of how many tickets have been sold, and at what price, for each event for both the Olympic and the Paralympic Games?

Clearly everybody is obsessed by tickets at the moment, for getting them or not getting them. I understand that a significant number of websites have been taken down that are offering bogus - whatever one likes to call it - tickets. Is there any particular warning that you would like to reiterate to the public of the UK about buying bogus tickets and how to avoid that problem, especially for the 100 metres final?

Before the bid, during the bid and after the bid successive Mayors declared that this would be the most accessible, inclusive Games ever. Clearly you would have incorporated that statement within your business plan. Can you tell me how far you have gone to fulfilling that?

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? McDonald's, whilst having the monopoly of chips, as I understand, do not have the monopoly of food provision.

How will you make sure that spectators with disabilities and those who are less able bodied can access all aspects of the Games?

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. Have you got an indication of how many of those were run by the third sector and how many of them were run by ethnic minorities?

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.

I have absolutely no doubt that that is the case. I have never had any doubts that that is the case. My concern is turning that into action. I am very clear what the legacy of the Olympics is going to be. More jobs, more houses, more employment opportunities, up-skilling the work force, etc, etc. I am less clear what the legacy of the Paralympics is going to be and it seems to me that nobody is taking responsibility for fronting this and for making sure it happens. I will give you an example. The Liberal Democrat group on the...
