It is good to see that you are still implacably opposed to this development. There are liquor licence applications coming up. There are huge campaigns and huge concern among the local community, who tell us very strongly that the campaign will go on regardless of what happens? Do you agree that the battle is not yet over?

Are you aware that Tessa Jowell, the local MP, and I have both lodged objections to the magistrates for the application for 14 liquor licences? Would you be willing to support those objections, and do you share our view that a massive alcoholic facility of this kind, with numerous bars, is deeply inappropriate for a park which is heavily used by children and families?

But would you also agree, Mr Mayor, that all the legal advice you have received has been, first, that Bromley Council has acted entirely lawfully in every respect in relation to these matters; and secondly, that there is no legal ground for the GLA to involve itself or intervene in this matter?

Talking of being cheated by Bromley Council, are you concerned at the way in which it has applied SRB funds for the Crystal Palace project and redevelopment of the park? Is that something that the LDA can look at?

I wondered how far the Mayor is going to put money where his mouth is on this, and how far he will assist the boroughs by means of grant aid.

The problem is that although, in two dozen meetings, people from those organisations have had really positive feedback from TfL, they are simply not reassured that it has the expertise. I should like a few more details, if possible, about the sort of links you will have with these organisations.

I was not in the least concerned about you droning on; I was interested in whether the invitees - the audience - would have the opportunity of participation to give you their views and responses.

Can you say what exactly is the purpose of the London Summit? Is it for London to listen to you or for you to hear London, or both?

Who will be invited to attend the London Summit taking place on 27th November?

• Question by: Louise Bloom

Can you clarify? Is it invitation only, or anyone can turn up on the day?
