The London Assembly's report into possible outcomes of the Olympic Games (A Lasting Legacy for London?) appears to justify One London's view that there will be no new full time jobs created as a result of the 2012 Games. At the recent Assembly plenary the Olympic Delivery Authority were unable to quantify the numbers of new permanent jobs. Can the Mayor now specify where these new jobs will come from, and does he have any figures for the numbers of jobs lost to the Olympic boroughs with the closure, extinguishing or relocation of firms on the site of the Games?

In her statement to Parliament in March, Tessa Jowell said: "Without any further increase for London council tax payers beyond that already committed, or any increase in transport fares to fund the Olympics, the Mayor will over the lifetime of the Olympic programme be making a further £300 million available to help meet Olympic costs." Please can the Mayor explain where this £300 million will come from, which is in addition to the £625 million he has already committed London council taxpayers to pay?
