Just quickly on the financing aspect. There are so many problems facing London and we have covered some of them today. How can you go about convincing Londoners that this is the best possible use of a Council Tax increase, given that there are so many other priorities facing London? We have only had city-wide Government in London for three years and we are facing so many problem in terms of transport, regeneration, environmental issues and so on. How can you convince people that extra money for the Olympics is the best possible use of Council Tax payers' money?
