Do you expect those strands to be fully funded as originally envisaged or will there have to be some cutbacks?

Sir Simon, it is the job of the Labour Party to say it is all dreadful, being the rays of sunshine that they are, but in the context of this current climate this looks like a bit of a windfall. Can you tell me how the Mayor might be spending the unexpected amounts of money, especially --

Good. That will certainly start to clear things up. On the home insulation and sustainability work that you mentioned, the implementation plan for the final version of the Climate Change and Energy Strategy in May 2011, will this take account of the new settlement as it is, rather than simply the projected wish list that you were working to previously?

I want to follow on from Andrew but, also, I was struck by something John Biggs said about you are not mentioning the people. A huge part of the legacy is about the people and the people's quality of life when they are living there. The Commission for Sustainable London 2012 recommended that you should develop detailed design guidance for developers on how to incorporate food growing into its development plans. Have you done that?

  • Meeting date: 16 March 2011
We have heard a lot about employment opportunities for local people. Will you be building any requirement into any of the contracts such as the construction ones to specifically employ and train local people - a bit like Crossrail has been able to do?

Could you tell me please how long Londoners will have to wait before they can start to use the venues and visitor attractions on the Olympic site?

): Thank you, Chair. Jennette Arnold AM and I are the two Constituency Members for the area that you are operating in. I am a bit worried by my question because it covers an area which you have not said anything about. Jennette and I represent the people of that area. You have done a lot of good work on physical infrastructure, stadiums, facilities and park planning but you have said nothing about the communities and how what you are doing is there to address the needs and the potential economic prosperity of those communities. Can you tell us what...

  • Question by: Tony Arbour
  • Meeting date: 16 March 2011
I would like to know when and how much you expect to generate from the capital receipts for the five neighbourhoods on the Olympic Park? It is of extreme importance to the boroughs that we should get some sort of handle on this because this is the only way that Londoners who contributed to the cost of the Olympics are likely to get a dividend. Have we got a bottom figure? I have listened to you several times say that really you are not trying to evade financial questions and you are working very hard on it but you must...

  • Question by: Nicky Gavron
  • Meeting date: 16 March 2011
I have very little time so I am going to ask for a very brief answer. How many of the social rented homes - or homes originally planned to be social rented - available between 2012 and 2016 do you think the new affordable rent model will apply to?

  • Question by: Roger Evans
  • Meeting date: 16 March 2011
Can we return to the subject of converting the venues please. Baroness Ford you said to the Select Committee a year ago that an additional £450 million might be required for conversion after the Games and you were going to go through this estimate line by line to work out exactly how much would be required. Have you reached a conclusion on that exercise?
