Before we move on to the next question I wonder if I could just ask you this: you have referred, Neale and David, to the relatively short time period covered by the Strategy. Leaving aside issues of the outcomes of elections and so on, what is anticipated in terms of roll forward of the Strategy, revision after it has been adopted and when a new one would come, or a revised one would come, onto the stocks to take us beyond 2011?

Why then has the Mayor opposed, for example, what Wandsworth has been doing to bring back empty homes into the housing market?

• Question by: Tony Arbour

Does that mean that the figures that you previously published, for all the previous years, were made up?

Well it has failed. It has failed, hasn't it?

I have a couple of specific questions; maybe I will cover them all together. First of all, is it just going to be for two years and will you ensure that the additional money will go to those schemes, many of which are working very successfully, rather than try to reinvent the wheel with trying to identify other schemes? Will young people decide how the offer money is going to be spent, and can you confirm that the targeted offer will be distributed to small groups with multiple needs?

It seems like a very good scheme. Can I ask how this funding can be accessed by local communities?

Three years or two years?

Perhaps you could just give us the funding. Just pass the funding straight on.

I am not asking you to comment on the planning application; it is more about the commercial engagement with London City Airport. Are you aware that London City Airport provides no cost towards the security of its perimeters and, in a sense, that we and part of the GLA family are subsidising them? Before you enter into commercial agreements with London City Airport or give any undertaking that security, the primacy of security around our airports and users of airports comes first and therefore that they should not be subsidised by London taxpayers, they should make a contribution like other...

While it is encouraging to hear that fresh moves are afoot to review the master development plan because it does seem to be totally out of kilter with the direction of transport planning, does that mean that the developments in phase one are now totally up for grabs because there is quite a lot of expansion? Is it appropriate that City Airport flights which fly to Paris and Brussels should continue? They seem most inappropriate now we have got a high-speed Eurostar line, which I understand clocked two hours and three minutes to Paris in September.
