    Thank you for that. Clearly, there is a great deal of private sector support for the Olympic bid. I know the London Business Board is very much behind what is happening. Can you tell us what discussions there have been with the private sector about either PPP arrangements for contributing or helping with the Olympics in general, and, more specifically, in terms of private sector involvement in funding improvements for the general street environment in time for 2012?

    That is very encouraging. Clearly, we are keen that there is not only business engagement but community engagement.

You've expressed concerns about the value for money of these contracts. As Labour politicians - and I believe Labour colleagues in Government wouldn't wish to pursue anything that was unsafe or which was not value for money - I think the onus is upon you to spell out what precisely are your concerns on these questions, in the light of the information that you now have in respect of the contracts...
  • Opening Statement 13.03.02 (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Toby Harris
    • Meeting date: 13 March 2002
    Ken, we're not asking what your alternative is, we're asking for what your concerns are about these contracts. Why is it that you think it is appropriate to be renewing Underground trains, which are very expensive and which are still perfectly fine? You express horror that Jubilee Line trains weren't going to be replaced until I forget which date it was, but Jubilee Line trains are perfectly comfortable, don't seem to be a particular problem. What exactly is the difficulty here?
