Thank you. I wanted to ask you particularly about the sporting legacy and particularly school children. As you said, that is the one thing that you perhaps would have done differently with

Clearly everybody is obsessed by tickets at the moment, for getting them or not getting them. I understand that a significant number of websites have been taken down that are offering bogus - whatever one likes to call it - tickets. Is there any particular warning that you would like to reiterate to the public of the UK about buying bogus tickets and how to avoid that problem, especially for the 100 metres final?

Before the bid, during the bid and after the bid successive Mayors declared that this would be the most accessible, inclusive Games ever. Clearly you would have incorporated that statement within your business plan. Can you tell me how far you have gone to fulfilling that?

Lord Coe, lest the British public think that the only option they have is a Veggie Burger or a Big Mac, can you please assure both this Assembly and London, the wider public, that your food policy has achieved an enormous range of food outlets across the Park, that McDonald's have only two outlets, I understand, at the Park, and there are another 150 others? McDonald's, whilst having the monopoly of chips, as I understand, do not have the monopoly of food provision.

London's presentation in Singapore was centred around the inspiration of today's children and future children to take up sport, pass the baton on to the next generation and I think you said London's bid stood out because of this. You talked earlier about you, in effect, having to do the knitting together. It is fine to talk about it but how do you actually do that?

So I take it from that, we can do this, we can do that and then you said that we are developing these packs

You said there were about 70,000 volunteers needed. Do you have any idea at the moment about how many of them have come from London and how many from outside the area?

I also want to ask about the pre-volunteer programme because that is about to start next year I believe. I understand that the initial pilot will be in the five Olympic boroughs and that there will be other areas that will be on that pre-volunteer programme - representatives in Haringey and particularly areas like Tottenham and Edmonton, where there is a great diversity and great deprivation and some of highest worklessness in London. I am just wondering how, as a representative, I can get those local people involved and how we will go about engaging our local community in a...

Can I also ask about equality in the volunteering programme as well, because if you look at Manchester, I believe they had a great successful volunteering programme and they paid particular attention to long-term unemployed young people, members of minority groups and those with special needs and disabilities, and I am just wondering, following the things that Dee highlighted earlier, will you ensure that there is equality of opportunity at every stage of the process? Will you be monitoring that as well?
