Finally, you mentioned as well that it is not just about tackling the issue of low pay here, but it is making sure that people are paid a decent wage for all work done in relation to the Olympics. Therefore, in terms of merchandise being imported and so on, will you be making sure that there are guarantees that that is not through sweatshop labour, and that there are principles of fair trade, fair pay, and so on incorporated into that?

That is what I am grateful for, and I know that in April, when you were interviewed on `Breakfast with Frost' shortly after taking over, you quantified that threat as being ' we are not being too exact ' something in the order of perhaps several hundred potential terrorists operating in the UK?

I will not press you further. I know that is not the purpose of your position.

I am grateful. Therefore, the Mayor, when he made that assertion recently, clearly was completely wrong?
