OK. Thank you, Chair. The question is to Lord Coe. You recall we had some disagreements about Dow's sponsorship. I want to talk about that. You mentioned throughout our discussions that despite the available evidence, Dow had no case to answer according to you because you claimed that full and final settlement had been made. Is this an issue you would have done differently? Your position, in my view, certainly was wholly unsustainable.

Cultural diversity of London was seen as a great strength and virtue of our bid for London 2012, something which we understand clinched the success that we have had in getting the bid. What I would like to know is what progress has been made towards showcasing and promoting this unique strength that London offers and what is the current status of that?

Obviously we are at a fairly early stage of the process on some of these. I understand why Jenny (Jones) is raising the issue, but can I just have a commitment that as well as turning the policies into guidelines, you will also have some very clear targets or achievable goals particularly in relation to the legacy, so that in relation to this whole question of sustainability, and particularly in this question on food, we can actually see some legacy effects as well on this rather than just the Games themselves?

I wasn't expecting you to have the targets now but that these guidelines would actually be quite specific in terms of not just the Games themselves but the legacy aspect.

Is this your biggest worry, the budget? What keeps you awake at night, other than young children, if you have got them?

I am trying to get some sense of the light and the dark, whether it is finance, whether it is security.

My interest is less how you control the cost - I trust you to do that - more the sense of the risk analysis. Is finance, making sure the budget does end in balance, as it were, the biggest issue or are there specific other management issues?
