While it is encouraging to hear that fresh moves are afoot to review the master development plan because it does seem to be totally out of kilter with the direction of transport planning, does that mean that the developments in phase one are now totally up for grabs because there is quite a lot of expansion? Is it appropriate that City Airport flights which fly to Paris and Brussels should continue? They seem most inappropriate now we have got a high-speed Eurostar line, which I understand clocked two hours and three minutes to Paris in September.

I am not asking you to comment on the planning application; it is more about the commercial engagement with London City Airport. Are you aware that London City Airport provides no cost towards the security of its perimeters and, in a sense, that we and part of the GLA family are subsidising them? Before you enter into commercial agreements with London City Airport or give any undertaking that security, the primacy of security around our airports and users of airports comes first and therefore that they should not be subsidised by London taxpayers, they should make a contribution like other...

As the freeholder of the London City Airport site, what concerns does the LDA have about the London City Airport Masterplan?

Many of my constituents in East London are enterprising, go getting kids, who are improving their school standards. People are making enormous progress, but there are various communities that are stuck. Would you agree with me that it is actually rather naïve of people - not that any are in this room, of course - to think that the Olympic Games will in some way solve all of those entrenched problems in one fell swoop? In other words, the Olympic Games are part of a big process that will last, in some cases, several generations, I think, before we sort...

That was an easy question, obviously. Try a harder one. Do you have what I might call an economic model as to how the Olympic Games will integrate with the wider regeneration of the area, and how you might, as the LDA, reach into those, harder-to-reach groups? I think giving email lists of 50 names is dramatic, it is maybe a press release, but it is not really a way of doing that.

One final question then, just to bring it back to London level, and maybe just look at East London as an example, but I think this refers to other Members concerns. Within my constituency I have Newham, Tower Hamlets, obviously beneficiaries from the Games, but Barking and Dagenham as well, who, although they are very positive, are a little bit grumpy as well. They are saying all the action is down the road there. How does the economic model that the LDA and others are working to really benefit us in other parts of London? And, I take it that...

Could you tell us about the work you are doing, if any, to ensure that while, currently, Government is very focused, like being dazzled by headlights, on cost issues, it remains equally focused on the regeneration, the economic wealth creation of the United Kingdom, as well as London, issues flowing from the Games? Maybe other guests could add to that as well.

My question is to Manny Lewis really. I want to ask you. What is your plan B, regarding the Manor Gardens Allotments? Because the architects clearly overlooked them in the original plan, Waltham Forest do not want them, and I would now like to know what you intend to do.
