I hesitate to come in but it is always nice to follow the flat earth wing of the Tory Party. Would you not agree that a different interpretation of the sponsorship issue is that the Olympics must grandstand British business if at all possible, and be used to highlight our success, and that we should celebrate that? Indeed, if we wanted to be pernickety about this we could highlight the fact that historically Cadbury, I think, come from a Quaker background and they actually have a very strong history in terms of ploughing the furrow of early social concern as...

Lord Coe, you mentioned sponsorship and your level-two agreement with Cadbury. Which of Cadbury's products support the healthy living agenda of the Olympics? Jenny Jones (AM): Good question!

Considering the increase in severity of the economic downturn and also the reduction in the value of the pound, can we be assured that there will be no more burden put on Londoners with regards an increase in the Council Tax to actually cover the Olympic project?

I would just like to follow up from Mr Barnes' question. Have we identified a last safe moment where, if the project delays, in the lead up to the Olympics, would it be worth us saying actually, 'Let us delay the implementation of this until after the Olympics, rather than be in the middle of an implementation process during that very high profile period?

Are there any operational implications for that, do you know?

One of the most troubling aspects of this affair is the extent to which national security is again being cited as a justification for all manner of action. I am not asking you, Sir Paul, to comment on that, as you would understand the national security implications, if any, of this affair. I would want to make a point that we see from Mumbai how some threats to our security are very real and the nation is now looking to you as Acting Commissioner to give impartial advice on national security matters. Can I put it to you that one...

I would like to revisit the issue about constitutional privilege. Can I ask the Chairman of the MPA and Acting Commissioner, does constitutional privilege mean that anyone can be above the law, including MPs?

A question for the Chairman of the Metropolitan Police Authority: Many of my constituents were delighted to see the departure of the former Commissioner. You are now engaged in recruitment of the new one. Those same constituents have been horrified to see the scenes on television of Metropolitan Police officers acting in a way that would not go amiss in Mugabe's Zimbabwe. Will you ensure that candidates for the top job at the Metropolitan Police are those who are not going to carry on this system of working and that those candidates who are busy running to the media -...

This is a question for the Chairman of the Police Authority. Do you not think that in the Green matter the Commissioner was between a rock and a hard place? Whatever he did was going to be seen to be wrong. By acting in the way he did he has been seen as the tool of the Government. Had he not acted in that way he would have been seen to be protecting a Conservative Member of Parliament. In the light of that, do you not think now will be an appropriate time for the Metropolitan Police Authority to press...

Can I welcome the decision to set up an urgent review of what has happened so far, to report back within the next couple of weeks? Can I invite the Commissioner to share the terms of reference of that review with us?
