Yes, indeed. Now obviously we want to try it. As you say, the key word is `if', so I am just interested for the future as to what we can do to try and make sure, as far as possible, there are not losses of those kind.

I think that has been very positive and I am grateful for those answers. I was surprised to see something in the sports section of the Daily Telegraph the other week which seemed to suggest that the Mayor had undertaken to underwrite losses of some £10 million a year on the Olympic Park after 2012. I was surprised to see that and I wondered if you could shed any light on where that comes from and where we are about the future financing of those issues? All of us obviously want to see the maximum use and the maximum public...

Perhaps I can come in as the person whose constituency actually includes Crystal Palace. Surely, it would be a pretty untenable Olympic bid that had no role for the one venue in London which is capable of dealing with grand prix athletic sports events. Can I ask again, what specific role do you envisage Crystal Palace playing a) in the run-up to the Games, b) during the Games, and c) as part of the legacy?

I am afraid your comments sit rather ill with those of the Mayor when he visited Bromley and told both the Bromley local papers that he saw Crystal Palace as being `within the Olympic footprint'.

Well, I find that a more constructive exchange, if I may say, because it may be, Ms Cassani, that you are not aware that there has been some very constructive dialogue going on between all the parties. And the more that that is fed into your bid team the more we are likely, I suspect, to get together the sort of joined-up approach that we all want to see as far as Crystal Palace is concerned. Perhaps we can pursue it further elsewhere.
