Steve O’Connell AM: On this side we welcome the alterations that are designed to retain as much as possible our higher London standards and apply consistency across our city. A question I have for you, however, is for the first time there is a requirement for developers to consider installing lifts in developments below four storeys. The Planning Committee had some concerns around that initially and we sought some clarification around this policy. Clearly one of the risks would be by adding potential costs to the developer they may be incentivised to increase the size of the buildings and/or potentially...

Steve O’Connell AM: Deputy Mayor, you will not be surprised to know that on this side we do welcome these relaxations. These are modest, however. It is interesting that colleagues are getting rather agitated over what we feel is too modest. I, indeed, had a report published last year that called for parking standards to be abolished in outer London and for outer London boroughs to be able to refuse planning permission based on insufficient parking. Clearly this does not go that far. If, indeed, my proposals were on the table I would understand colleagues’ agitation around that. That is...

I am interested in the cost of running the sports venues once they are into legacy mode. I understand that the OPLC will be responsible for the Stadium, the Aquatics Centre, the mixed sports venue and the tower. Do you expect the sports venues will require public subsidy once they are in legacy mode to keep them afloat, or will they stand on their own two feet?

Can we return to the subject of converting the venues please. Baroness Ford you said to the Select Committee a year ago that an additional £450 million might be required for conversion after the Games and you were going to go through this estimate line by line to work out exactly how much would be required. Have you reached a conclusion on that exercise?

I would like to know when and how much you expect to generate from the capital receipts for the five neighbourhoods on the Olympic Park? It is of extreme importance to the boroughs that we should get some sort of handle on this because this is the only way that Londoners who contributed to the cost of the Olympics are likely to get a dividend. Have we got a bottom figure? I have listened to you several times say that really you are not trying to evade financial questions and you are working very hard on it but you must...

Could you tell me please how long Londoners will have to wait before they can start to use the venues and visitor attractions on the Olympic site?
