How will the Mayor's 'No one needs to sleep rough in London' campaign and new London Homeless Charities Group contribute to reducing homelessness in the capital?

Tom Copley AM: Thank you very much, Chair. I wanted to ask you about the levels of affordable housing and specifically the London Affordable [Living] Rent which is the Mayor’s new form of tenure that is going to be benchmarked at social rent levels. Are you going to have a target specifically for London Affordable Rent across the OPDC site?

Given the Government's proposals to force London's local authorities to sell high value assets, do you think the revenue generated should be hypothecated for building homes in the capital?

In your Housing Strategy you outline that you "would like to see new arrangements for prudential borrowing for new housing so that it is not counted as Government debt, which would distinguish it from more mainstream public borrowing, along the lines that apply in much of the rest of Europe". What progress have you made in lobbying the government to implement this change?

Will your Food Strategy apply to all of the Olympic venues? I mean not just those within the Park but Weybridge, Broxbourne, Dorney Wood, Manchester United's football ground. Will it apply to all of them, even those commercial premises which you are hiring in for the period of the Games?

Again, I am very happy to see you around. The question is on your policy and strategy about promoting fair trade products and that is right across the board, not only food and drink, but other products, sporting or otherwise?

Sorry to interrupt. I appreciate this. What I am trying to get at here is this is a legacy not only for London but the UK Olympic Games. It seems rather crude that we are having to rely upon external sponsorship that may have its own kickbacks where we do not have direct funding from our Government on an education programme that I think is crucial to leave any purposeful legislation --

One of the parts of this question is about reputational risk and, Seb, in your speech when you secured the Games - I think one of the high points - was you talking about the legacy for young people in sport. One former Olympian said to me a few days ago that he was rather worried he did not see enough progress going on in this regard in setting things up for young people to secure the legacy. He said there was far too much talking and far too many scoping studies going on but not any real activity. What...

I was very pleased to hear you mention that one of LOCOG's legacies will be in 2020 to look back and see what the legacy was. How are you measuring the legacy in terms of the increase in participatory sport?

I would agree with you. I did anticipate that the previous question would take up time. Indeed our Members were choreographed to take up time on it, which would have meant I would have been here, Chair, so I will have to expel them later! I am very grateful for the reply and I think I did catch its basic contents. I think we all welcome your commitment to legacy although, of course, you will be long gone in this capacity by the time we really discover whether there was a legacy. Do you think there is a tension between...
