And what is the answer to my question? Why did nobody provide coaches, buses or train tickets and depend on the parents driving 300-mile round trips every weekend?

My final question is to Seb. Seb, does it worry you, as I am sure it should, that we keep reading things in the press about divers having to go to Sheffield and cyclists having to drive round the M25 in rush hour during the week in order to be able to train? Nobody could have foreseen that there were going to be problems with Crystal Palace? Surely these are the people that you are trying to inspire; these are the people that you are reaching out to so successfully. Once you realised that these people had to go to...

Can I go back to the sustainability announcement that was alluded to earlier and is presumably what you were just referring to, Seb. What is that? Is that further commitments or is that the reality behind the commitments that have already been given? That is the first question. Then in terms of the scope of it, you have said it was kind of biodiversity and so forth, but is it sustainability in an economic, social and environmental sense or is it essentially still environmental-related commitments?

So you are reasonably confident that the figures will be achievable?

Now some of those items might be either subject to overrun, and therefore higher costs, or it is very likely that the cost of transport will increase at a fairly high inflation rate. How are you tackling that?

• Question by: Geoff Pope
• Meeting date: 25 April 2007

Can we move on to the budget item where we have absolutely no information, which is transport. We have a very exact figure of £794 million. What does this cover for the ODA core costs?

I was going to ask for slightly more than Geoff Pope has requested, which was if you can provide us, at the least, with a breakdown now of the transport costs which are, if you like, capital; the investment in the Jubilee Line upgrade and so on, and the revenue costs which relate to the operational matters that you have described?

I still find it extraordinary that your idea of producing facilities that are at least as good includes a facility of a road racing track that is both sides of a main road. That is just ludicrous.

When I was in the negotiations with the LDA it was never, ever suggested that the track that the Eastway Users' Group would go back to would be on two sides of a main road. I can assure you. I was there. It was never even suggested.

• Question by: Dee Doocey
• Meeting date: 25 April 2007

Can I come back to some of the specifics? Take the Eastway Users' Group specifically, which is what my prime concern is about and about which, as you know, I have been negotiating quite a lot with your officials. First of all your officials told me that British Cycling was in favour of the application that you had put in. British Cycling told me last night that they are certainly not in favour of it, and they referred me to their website. Their website describes the plans that you have as `unacceptable' and I understand from them that that has...
