Do you think that preventing further airport expansion in London is consistent with promoting economic development?

• Question by: Peter Hulme Cross

My question follows on from what Tony Arbour and Bob Blackman were saying. You said that you have interviewed existing staff but you have not interviewed staff who no longer work for the organisation, one of whom, Maxine Jones, also made some allegations. There were two whistleblowers: Brenda Stern and Maxine Jones. You have said, 'The review has found that this allegation is incorrect'. In order to reach that conclusion it would seem to me that you would have to talk to both of those two people.

When I predicted in 2005 that the 2012 Olympics would cost taxpayers £10 billion, you suggested that I should not be unpatriotic and should support the bid. After Tessa Jowell's confirmation almost 2 years later of a figure of £9.3 billion, you told me that the contingency was very large and that the bill would never reach that. Now the government is suggesting that the contingency could indeed be used. Would it not be sensible to scrap some proposed Olympic venues and use existing ones in order to remain within the existing budget?
