Roger Evans (AM): Yes, thank you, Chair. Last week we heard from Ben Plowden from TfL that, as part of the Olympic legacy, Cycle Super Highway Two would be extended from Bow flyover eastwards.

Richard Tracey (AM): Can I remind you en passant that 25,000 new jobs are going to be created by the Nine Elms development --

Do you not think, as this is the London Olympics and we all have an interest in being a successful Olympics, every Member of this Assembly should make representations where their voice is heard to ensure industrial action does not take place during the Olympics?

John Biggs (AM): I do not think I have your expertise in mattresses but the question is, I had two questions, one is about Boris Johnson (Mayor of London): He is cheap. John Biggs (AM): I am not cheap. I sleep on a bare floor. Anyway, the question about gridlock. I had two questions, one is about the Olympic Route Network (ORN).

Can I finish my question? You then signed a letter with your Deputy Mayor, then Kit Malthouse, with the Chair of the Assembly, Dee Doocey, at the time, actually suggesting to the Government that we should have the right to summons senior police officers. Why are you now trying to neuter the effectiveness of this Assembly?

The candour was he did not know the brief and could not answer our questions. Do you not think that our questions on Olympic policing and serious problems in the Sapphire Unit where 37 rape victims had their cases closed deserved answers?
