You mentioned a London scheme. Could you commit to doing, as part of that, an audit of this that is open and makes clear exactly what these schemes are doing? In the meantime, can you commit to not spending any more public money on carbon offsetting until that is done?

One thing that occurs to me - and why I think it sounds like the medieval penances that I think the Greens sometimes describe it as - is that, surely, it encourages people to travel more. If you look at your own travel costs, they multiplied considerably in the last three years. Surely this is the wrong way to do it. If you are genuinely keen on putting less CO2 into the atmosphere what you will do is travel less.

Just a very brief question; the £300 million that we have to find linked with the value of the land. Cash flow wise, obviously the land will come to fruition afterwards. Where is the money going to come from in the meantime, or do we need it?

Mayor, you have obviously come round to the One London party view on fixed terms, because when you were talking eloquently on the Greater London Authority Bill eight or nine years ago you were very much in favour. However, I will leave that to one side.

Are you concerned about Sir Ian Blair's comments that armed foreign police might have to be used at the 2012 Olympics, and would you join us in asking that all other possibilities are explored before this course of action is taken? And also that a specific guarantee is given that no operational police officers from outside the UK are allowed to work here under the Europol immunities rules?

Further to his answer to my question 1233/2007, the Mayor is proposing to fund the additional £300 million from capital gains on land sales. Can he guarantee that the GLA will not be required to pay the £300 million until this money becomes available some time after 2012? If not how is he proposing to solve the cash flow problem?
