I absolutely understand that if you are going to grow vegetables it has to be remediated to a certain level and the LDA has not done that. I also understand and accept LDA's assurance that it has remediated it to a standard fit to hold the Games on. That is fine. What I am interested in is the commercial exploitation of the land and any uncertainty. You just said, Margaret, as with any Brownfield site developers would have to be aware, but the LDA told us that it is giving you this brilliant land that it has spent an absolute...

I just wanted to generally raise some environmental issues and I think the main one here in the legacy is the Olympic Park and how that is going to be managed in the future. Could you just tell me how you intend to tender that, what specifications you have got in mind to deal with that and who you think is going to be interested in managing that major part of the legacy, which will probably be around for a lot longer than other things?

Thank you. My last question is about the budget. I understand that the budget has not been finalised, but you should surely realise that the reason we have so much concern around here is because we have not got any information. The job we are being paid to do is to monitor the delivery of the Games. We cannot actually monitor it if we do not have the budget, because we do not know whether you are going above it or below it. Now you have said that the budget that you have asked for is significantly higher than the...

I would like to know what plans are in place to make sure that the same mistakes do not happen again when there is a new Chairman appointed. I think it is very clear, certainly to me, that Mr Lemley has done much more damage to his own reputation by his extraordinary behaviour since he left, than could ever have been done by the involvement with the Games. I wanted to know how it was going to be made sure that whoever is appointed next time, and whoever is going to appoint them - presumably the Mayor and the Secretary...

I might have to ask elsewhere. Let us get it in context. We now know that he had expressed concerns - I think was your phrase - that the project was not on track. This is not a rogue member of the Board, this is the person who is the Chair of the Authority expressing those concerns. What specifically were the concerns that he raised?

Two questions. Firstly, would you agree that in the light of a major project such as this it would be surprising if it was not the case that there would be some changes in personnel and some clashes of personality along the way?

Did you raise any of these concerns at meetings of the Board?

Certainly when we had the appearance in front of the Assembly in the summer, I think everyone went away thinking, `This is tremendous, everything is on track'. This now seems to bring the confidence that we all had into some question. How can you give us assurances that things really are on track?

Lord Rogers went on record last week criticising the process for the development of the stadium. He claims that the Mayor agrees with him. Does that not lend a tremendous amount of credibility to the fact that there are disputes going on already about the whole process?

Why do you think Mr Lemley gave one set of reasons for leaving London and then another set of reasons on the record, as we have just heard?
