On the budget issue, we saw environmental and legacy commitments being scaled back in Athens as a result of going over budget. Can you give an absolute guarantee that there will be no scaling back in London from what was promised in the bid documents?

Existing planning permission for the Stratford City development specifies that a minimum of 2% of energy requirements of the development be provided from locally resourced renewable energy. This is a long way short of the commitment in Towards a One Planet Olympics for an 'Athletes' Village capable of being energy self-sufficient'. As part of the Athletes' Village will now be sited within the Stratford City development, will the ODA seek new planning permission, specifying the Athletes' Village as a Zero-Energy Development? If not, how will the ODA ensure that the Athletes' Village is "energy self -sufficient"?

Can the chair confirm that the Environment Agency has advised against development along much of the Thames Gateway because of the flood risk?
