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...

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.

Just coming back to the issue of the figures for housing, I think it would have been useful to have had someone from the Housing Corporation explain those figures because I have had difficulties getting some idea of what their methodology is on that front and it will undoubtedly become an annual political football. Coming to what I wanted to raise with Neale: the unimplemented planning permissions. Where do you think the explanation lies for that? Is it the five year limit on planning permissions?

Just going back to this question of different kinds of housing, what place will housing co-operatives, tenant management organisations and Black and Minority Ethnic Registered Social Landlords have in the Mayor's overall strategy?

Can I ask Mr Coleman to actually clarify what he said about the swimming pool for Hillingdon? And I am very pleased that both parts of my constituency have been mentioned already today.

This sounds like a bureaucratic nightmare to me. How are people who are endeavouring to run a business, make a small profit, and pay their mortgage going to be expected to wade through all these committee meetings, board meetings, sustainable-development-checking processes? Mayor, you will have to ask them to put off the Olympics until 2016 at this rate.
