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.

Would you give us a brief update on your discussion with authorities concerned with security during Games time?

Just watching the Games you got the impression that it was a very top-down operation. Obviously the authorities in Beijing were able to direct the activities of their population, even down to telling them that they could only protest in one particular park and that type of thing. London, as you know, is very much more complex and rebellious than that. What plans have you got in place to ensure the Games can take place without making it a completely claustrophobic event for the people who have to live and work here?

Are you planning for the possibility that Crossrail might be being constructed at the same time as the Games or are you effectively leaving that out of the equation, saying, `Well, it is probably going to happen afterwards'?

Thank you. The Mayor tells us that he expects one in five Londoners to go away during the Olympics. I am not quite sure whether that is the sort of target you would have in mind. Is that something which you are relying on?

I was talking more about construction than completion because a lot of the work for Crossrail at its eastern end would be close to the Olympic Park and if it was taking place at the same time that would provide you with extra challenges that you would need to overcome. Is that something you are planning for?

And you are satisfied the bus lanes have the capacity to be able to take this extra traffic and not disrupt the bus service?

• Question by: Roger Evans

You told us that you have got 240 kilometres of Olympic Route Network planned. How much of that is based on existing bus lanes and how much of it is going to be new work, effectively?
