I do appreciate that most of the questions we want to ask you are probably subject to commercial confidentiality and so the last thing you want to do is announce the answers in public, but I will try one and maybe you can give us a thoughtful answer on this. It is about the IBC, the Media and Broadcast Centre. Is there a risk that it might not ultimately be built where it is proposed that it be built but that an opportunity might arise out of current other developments in the property market to relocate them within the Stratford...

I have a couple of questions really, mostly around sporting legacy. It is something that I am very interested in. The first one concerns one of the venues and the second one is about the Stadium itself. It touches on some of the answers that you gave earlier. The first one is about the equestrian events in Greenwich Park. I was quite gratified by your response to Mr Biggs' question about possible cash savings. I know that KPMG is doing a review on that. The issue I think that I personally have with Greenwich Park is that it will cost...

Is all the alternative supply through the mains, or are you looking at making mobile supplies available or bottled water available?

I was just looking back at Mr Wechsler's answer to the question on water supplies. He talks about a utilities sub-committee for London that was looking at dealing with this problem. Does that committee include representation from suppliers other than Thames Water, because certainly those of us in outer London often have our supplies from other organisations? I live in Romford. I get my supply from Anglian Water.

If we were to, for whatever reason, lose a large amount of Thames Water supply, would they be called on to fill that gap, and would they have the capacity to be able to do that?

I notice that the surrounding county councils, of course, are the responsible authority for civil defence and emergency planning. Do you think perhaps it is an advantage that they are able to plan at a county, as opposed to a borough, level? Is that something you should learn from London's point of view? Secondly, I also note that the very helpful plans, which you have detailed, Mr Wechsler, are made available to the public, both on, for example, Oxfordshire County Council's website and Surrey County Council's website, and that Surrey, indeed, has a dedicated SurreyAlert website. Do we propose to...

I just wondered if people might more logically think we would go to a London alert website, rather than a Bexley alert or a Hammersmith alert.

What preparations have been made to ensure London's water supply is maintained and remains uncontaminated?

What level joint operational planning occurs with the local authorities bordering London given their critical role in supporting any evacuation in light of an incident?
