I am grateful to hear that, that is reassuring. I wonder if you had had the chance to read the report that David James did on the delivery of the Dome?

Thank you; that is helpful. You highlight the importance of the project delivery there. Which of the members of your Board will be taking responsibility, apart from yourself, for project management issues?

What steps are going to be taken, and who is going to be taking the lead, in getting a real buy-in from the private sector? Ultimately we have got quite a lot of people from the public sector, distinguished people on the Board, but it is the private sector that ultimately will deliver this.

No example, then, of an issue where you are presented with such a conflict?

One further question. That is as far as we can go, I guess. Would it not have been better if the Mayor had not answered that the tests found they were not suffering from the fault originally identified, because of course that is entirely misleading given what we were also hearing from the manufacturer at the same time? That is the sort of problem about style that I come back to. It would have been so much better if he had been able to recognise there was a problem, it was being looked at, and it was an ongoing situation...

How long will it take before residents can get some rest from all this? Secondly, will you be looking at this report done by Westminster's Community Protection Department because that clearly demonstrates there is a really serious problem outside the legal envelope?

That is very positive. The Assembly's Transport Committee produced a report on industrial relations on London Underground in January where they made a small number of recommendations. Can you tell us what the progress has been on those?

I do not want to disappoint you. I am pleased to hear that you are moving towards multi-year pay agreements because that does remove one source of 16 conflict. However, we also know that all the strike ballots we have had, and there do appear to have been rather a lot of them since this time last year, have not been about the pay agreement; they have been about local issues that have escalated or bizarre claims about bullying and management action within London Underground. Have you met Bob Crow [General Secretary, RMT] since you became Commissioner and what is...

All these ballots must cost a great deal of money. Who is paying for them?

You could do it covertly.
