Two short points, if I might, on that. Are you saying then, Neale, can I be clear, that the developments which are currently proposed are not dependent, for example, therefore, on the extension of the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) down to Rainham?

Are you satisfied, Mr Mayer, that we have an accountable form of joining those together, or do we have a reassurance gap, as far as London is concerned? It may be being done by Nick Raynsford, but how do we assure Londoners that it is being'?
