Can I touch on the sustainability assurance aspects. The Commission for a Sustainable 2012 does not just do the construction and the staging of the Games, it includes legacy, albeit that process is going to come to an end in about 2013. The first question, for the record, is do you welcome that scrutiny and will you cooperate fully with the Commission for a Sustainable 2012 for the legacy aspects?

I wanted to look at the housing side of what you are doing and dig into the finances behind that will underpin the proportions between social affordable, owner occupied and, indeed, private rented possibly. When you were here last time we talked a lot about the remediation and the 60 centimetres and the impact of switching to the housing that you gave us the pictures for where there is a garden at the back. Can you update us on your financial modelling about the additional costs that are associated with remediation for family sized housing and how that impacts the...

I want just to pursue this issue of what the land is fit for. You talked about longer term development and you talked about family housing and so forth. We had a meeting of [the Assembly's] Budget and Performance Committee a couple of weeks ago and the LDA, when pressed about the debt, said that a fair chunk of the debt actually will still sit in the LDA's books to pay off the bills for the remediation so the issue of remediation then came up. Could I therefore just be clear what your understanding of the condition of the land...

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...

In evidence to the London Assembly's scrutiny of the revised Economic Development Strategy, the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry cited crime as one of the most important constraints on business success at present. What are you doing to reach out to small businesses in London and address their concerns .

We have a later motion about this question of the nationalisation of the national functions, so we will perhaps return to that. However, certainly one of the attractions of going down that route is to get the clarity and funding so that people can see what is going on. If the Government is not being clear and is expecting Londoners to pay for national responsibilities, then that is one of the reasons we are looking at that, certainly from my side. Toby says that he goes and has his cosy chats with the Home Secretary in a low-key sort of...

It is entertaining how the Labour side has attacked us and indeed the Tories today on things such as what Simon Hughes is saying and so forth, all because they do not actually know who their own candidate is and where they are going in terms of the Mayoral elections. When they get themselves sorted out they might have something more intelligent to say. Toby claims to be making the case for London, but the evidence suggests otherwise. As I understand it we are not clear what is the actual amount we will get on both the Airwave grant that...
