You can see from the questions that you have been asked today this is clearly a hot topic for us, and also, as politicians, we are very concerned about the issue of openness and the public knowing. So far this aspect has not been in the annual report, that is other information that I have. Is that not true?

Judging from your answers, some of the information I have here that I was going to ask you about is completely erroneous, and I am going to be delighted if you tell me I am completely wrong. I would like to follow on from my colleague Mike's [Tuffrey] excellent line of questioning on openness. The feeling is generally that there is not as much openness from you as there are from other companies who have got the same sort of ethical and socially responsible stance. Can I clarify; you commented on the voting record, however my understanding is that although...

Let us look at the cost, then. It is expensive to start taking green space and then reconstitute it. Why not just leave it and find another option?

It has actually proven quite difficult for me to sit here and listen, and not stand up and shout, `rubbish,- because you are talking about environmental sustainability, you are talking about legacy in east London, and yet you are planning to tarmac over a piece of Hackney Marshes: East Marsh... You are ignoring the wishes of the local people, who have come up with several other options instead of tarmacking over a piece of green space. Why are you not consulting the local people? I can give you three suggestions. I have a map and can point to these places...

Why not save yourself the money of building a car park? Why not make that space beautiful without'?
