Do you know how many, if any, privately-sponsored Live sites there will be in London in addition to ones that you are planning to have?

Mr Coleman, you touched on it just at the end of your answer to Tony Arbour's question about the bulk purchasing power. Can we be assured that the prices in the Look Book will be no more expensive because we don't have a brilliant track record of monopoly suppliers giving best value to purchasers? Can we ensure we fully utilise our joint purchasing power to ensure those prices are not going to be any higher than would be normally available on the commercial market?

I want to ask you about the bunting as well. Originally that was the only thing that was being proposed by you that I received with unalloyed joy because I thought, 'Here we are, outer London is actually going to get something. We are actually going to be able to celebrate something'. Now I hear it is some vast advertising campaign for the sponsors of the Olympics.

Mr Coleman and Mr Fihosy, you have both touched on a number of programmes that will be happening next year. Clearly there is the Olympics itself on a number of sites in and around London. There is your own programme of welcoming people and programmes that you know of at your Live sites. There are events that local authorities are putting on. There are events which local authorities are facilitating and by that I think of Jamaica celebrating 50 years of independence, Trinidad and Tobago also wanting to celebrate 50 years of independence, Brazil wishing to celebrate the fact of...

Could you tell me when residents living around Victoria Park will know the timings, access arrangements and indeed volume of the Live site there?

On the London Live issue still, on the tickets for that, can you explain how that is going to work?

Can you just take me through the figures? Thank you for the briefing and the content in it, but I just wanted to clarify some issues around the funding that is available to you.

I don't know whether this question would be for Neale or Vince. I want to pick up the issue of all these events that are going to be happening across London and I know there is the London Events Coordination Calendar and there is the Culture Diary. I think, in your recent answer to my colleague Dee Doocey, you said there were already over 4,000 events in the Culture Diary. However, you closed those diaries at the end of March, which seems a bit strange to me when clearly people would still be planning their events. I am told, looking...

Could I take you back to the discussion about public services and the cost of laying on various extra public services. I accept the figures that we have been given about some of the host boroughs close to the Olympic Park - and obviously there are other colleagues that can talk about them - but there are several that do concern me. I gather that the original estimate put in by the boroughs was £63.5 million and that has been reduced by the GLA and the Government to £21 million, which is a pretty considerable reduction. Now, as I understand...

I have two issues in mind. The first is with street signage on public transport. As a tourist at Athens and at Beijing, I found that very useful in my experience of those cities. I am just wondering whether any thought has been put into that in the London context over and above what the ambassadors will be doing on the street level.
