Sorry, Ms. Reilly, with all due respect, I do not think that Ms. Doocey's question asked any of that, and I do not think you have answered it, because I do not think you have actually referred to the issue that she raises in her last sentence. I would be most obliged if you would refer to that issue.

Right. Can I just ask you one final question? How much money have you spent on sponsoring this event?

• Question by: Elizabeth Howlett

Can I encourage you then? Perhaps you can encourage a different sort of show, because after all the average size of the women in this country is a size 16, so more Rubenesque, can I say, than Picasso or Modigliani. My colleague, on my right here (Tony Arbour AM), actually has declared that he likes the Rubenesque shape rather than the skinny shape. So, can I encourage you perhaps to sponsor one of these. It is lovely. Some of us are really a bit more rounded than others and so it would be really nice to see that sort of...

Per year, or over the three years?

And Madrid, yes.

That is now up for renewal if it is the end of the three years so this is an ideal time for you to withhold grants.

That has begun. I am glad to hear about your wholehearted commitment to this because it is bigger than the Olympics, OK, because of a legacy of hundreds of years, if we do not all flood and die before then. But you put energy into it last year. We had a small budget. What is the budget line this next year?

• Question by: Jenny Jones
• Meeting date: 11 October 2006

No, but the fact is, to organise this, to keep aware of what is going on, it is going to need considerably more than £50,000. In fact you are going to need nearer £300,000, possibly more and I am concerned that this is not being reflected in the budget. It is all very well to have fine words. This is what we are finding constantly here, that we hear promises and fine words from people, but it is about the delivery and that equates actually with spending some money on it.

It is obviously crucial that we get this brownfield development right if we are to protect greenfield and indeed the green belt. The figures I have in the decade before the LDA was set up, so in the 1990s, we lost the equivalent of Richmond Park in greenfield development and in this decade we have been losing St James's Park every year, that is development on greenfield sites. So, with that context, do you think that the the LDA's annual target of, I think is it 50 or 55 hectares a year, is adequate?

Do you think, as a result of this review, that your appraisal process and review of the options may actually get more robust?
