Can I just ask what you and Visit London are doing about increasing the number of hotel rooms in London? Particularly as we move forward to 2012, it is going to be a very important issue. A very important issue would be the standard of these rooms and also the cost. Will you be investigating hotel companies that actually put their room costs up to an exorbitant rate as they move towards 2012?

Thank you very much. Can I pursue the reasons for Mr Lemley leaving? It has been alleged in some media reports - and of course we have no insider knowledge so I say that these are allegations - that he was inclined to blur the edges between Chair and Chief Executive, which must have been very irritating for Mr Higgins. It is also alleged that he was quite happy to pursue some pecuniary interests and was hoping to recruit a rather obscure American company which turned out to be run by a relative. Again, I am saying these are allegations...
