Just a moment, Chairman, please, we will move on to the bendy buses. How many police officers and ticket inspectors does it take to carry out an exercise on a bendy bus?

They do not seem to be having much impact because we are told that nearly 10% of all revenue is lost on these bendy buses.

You are blaming us for your policies. You are blaming us for our scrutiny.

You rightly said that you have to estimate the amount of money that you are losing. How do you carry out that calculation to reach that result?

It usually looks like a lot more than that when operations are carried out on the bendy buses in central London.

So if he did come up with that plan, you would not automatically say no, despite having told us that you had ruled it out before?

This question tries to make the point that motorbikes are less congesting, but in fact they do congest advance stop lines, and would you agree with me they can be more polluting and also they can create just as many collisions as cars and so they are not necessarily a safe option? I am still your Road Safety Ambassador and your Green Transport Advisor, I do not know if you know that?

It is not just the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, it is also the City of Westminster doing the same thing. It is quite clear the Conservative boroughs are not just being anti-bikers, but also capitalising on the Congestion Charging to increase their parking income. I understand, for example, with the new free way through Park Lane, that they have opened up a new source of income on the car parking under Park Lane. I was wondering whether that was something that you were aware of, and does it not show that the Conservative authorities are probably going to...

Sorry, can I stop you there? Can you start from the premise of £2.375 billion, plus the £1.9 billion you have now told us about which we did not know about before, because it was previously £1.044 billion in all the published documents? So the £900 million is the only one I want to concentrate on. Is that regeneration or is that core Olympic costs?
