Thank you, Chair. I have got a number of questions. Firstly, to go back to what John was talking about, on the people legacy. The Olympic Park set itself benchmarks, as you know, Margaret. I know that you have been aware of the programmes it implemented. The sadness is that those teams may now well disperse. I welcome what you are doing with schools. Would you agree with me that you need also to work with local colleges, in the way that the ODA did, and what you need to do is, in a sense, take the baton and do...

Can I touch on the sustainability assurance aspects. The Commission for a Sustainable 2012 does not just do the construction and the staging of the Games, it includes legacy, albeit that process is going to come to an end in about 2013. The first question, for the record, is do you welcome that scrutiny and will you cooperate fully with the Commission for a Sustainable 2012 for the legacy aspects?

I wanted to look at the housing side of what you are doing and dig into the finances behind that will underpin the proportions between social affordable, owner occupied and, indeed, private rented possibly. When you were here last time we talked a lot about the remediation and the 60 centimetres and the impact of switching to the housing that you gave us the pictures for where there is a garden at the back. Can you update us on your financial modelling about the additional costs that are associated with remediation for family sized housing and how that impacts the...

Can I come to the sports legacy which has been touched on briefly by Gareth on the public subsidies. I am concerned that we do not have the Wimbledon effect which is we only play tennis for a few weeks after the Games and that is it. The role you play in that: firstly, what are you doing to help the Mayor achieve his 90% community use target for the Olympic Park in legacy?

I have very little time so I am going to ask for a very brief answer. How many of the social rented homes - or homes originally planned to be social rented - available between 2012 and 2016 do you think the new affordable rent model will apply to?

): Thank you, Chair. Jennette Arnold AM and I are the two Constituency Members for the area that you are operating in. I am a bit worried by my question because it covers an area which you have not said anything about. Jennette and I represent the people of that area. You have done a lot of good work on physical infrastructure, stadiums, facilities and park planning but you have said nothing about the communities and how what you are doing is there to address the needs and the potential economic prosperity of those communities. Can you tell us what...

We have heard a lot about employment opportunities for local people. Will you be building any requirement into any of the contracts such as the construction ones to specifically employ and train local people - a bit like Crossrail has been able to do?
