How concerned are you with the recent performance of London Underground?

I think that is reassuring and I am sure the IOC and Londoners will be reassured by that. In the event that there is a failure, say, on the Jubilee line during the games and you have people at the Olympic Park wanting to get down to the north Greenwich arena, will you allow spectators to travel for free on the cable car as a quick means to travel?

That was out of LU's control. Have you assured yourself that measures are in place? We have heard about the blue-light team and all the things you told us last week, and Peter and others have told us. How have you assured yourself and the IOC that things are in place and that people will be able to get around?

I think the last thing any of us want is images being beamed around the world of spectators having to be walked down the tracks and tunnels due to a broken-down train or some signalling problem or whatever, and particularly we have now heard that Jacques Rogge, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) President, may even occasionally be travelling by the Tube thanks to the pressures from you and others.

Thanks to the pressure by yourself and others no doubt. Are you concerned that such failures on the Underground at Games time could lead to worldwide embarrassment and what are you personally doing to assure yourself that the system is going to be working as well as it can throughout the Games?

Right, I have given you 45 email addresses from these people, who will allow you to reach the parts that you have not reached previously. What I would actually like is a commitment from you that you will change whatever you are doing, so that you get down to these people and you talk to them and find out what they want.

There is nothing like having high aspirations! My concern is that I am not sure that the jobs that are going to be available are going to do what it is everyone is trying to achieve, ie get the people who have perhaps never worked, into jobs. My view on this was made more concrete, if you like, when I chaired a meeting in this building, which your officers attended at my invitation, and there were 45 community leaders in the room representing 15,000 of the most deprived in society. Not one of them had heard of the LDA. They...

Sorry, Manny, I do not mean to be rude, but I am on a time limit, and any answers you give also comes off my time, so I really want to talk about this. The two examples you have given, first of all about people who for generations have never worked and who are on benefit for whatever reason, the people who have never had opportunities, will want to volunteer for this programme. I hope you are right. I definitely know that sport is a tremendous catalyst, particularly in deprived communities, and I hope you are right. I am not...

I have got 50. Can I add them to Dee's 40-odd, because I think that the key thing that I have got so far from this debate is this opportunity to say that we can bring to you information that we are picking up and have every right to pick up; that is what our job is. You have a responsibility to be open and receptive to what we bring to you. That is what Londoners understand your job is. So I think the best thing for me this morning has been that opening, and I would ask you, through...
