The question, if I can start to the Deputy Commissioner, it is regarding the English Defence League (EDL) march planned for 27 October 2012, this Saturday coming, and its impact on the borough. It is planning to march in Waltham Forest, a borough I represent, its impact on Islington, the neighbouring borough, I also represent, but the other boroughs affected are Tower Hamlets and Newham.

Deputy, we know that a letter has gone from the Commissioner [Bernard Hogan-Howe] to local authorities with a document attached that sets out proposals about how savings might be made, including looking at management costs, supervision ratios and a number of areas.

Thank you, Chair. I have got a number of questions. Firstly, to go back to what John was talking about, on the people legacy. The Olympic Park set itself benchmarks, as you know, Margaret. I know that you have been aware of the programmes it implemented. The sadness is that those teams may now well disperse. I welcome what you are doing with schools. Would you agree with me that you need also to work with local colleges, in the way that the ODA did, and what you need to do is, in a sense, take the baton and do...

As the representative of Hackney, which you talked about as one of the landowners, and also it is linked to the relationship with communities, can you confirm how you are going to manage the priorities and the ambitions that are held by boroughs like Hackney, and any demands that will come through from the private sector? By this I mean, if we just stay with the Broadcast Centre, you will know, Baroness Ford, that schools and colleges certainly around Hackney have started to look at their curriculum and have started to look forward to the point that they will be...
