So could you give us an estimated date when this Assembly will have the budget? You said it was going to be this December, what are you now saying?

If the budget is delayed by Government, for whatever reason, is it possibly that, say, by June next year we could have the budget that you are working to so that we can do our job?

Mr Lemley was particularly concerned about the impact of political disagreements on the future of the main stadium. Is this not a repeat of exactly what went wrong at Wembley?

OK. Our research a year ago showed that around 11 per cent of brownfield land in London had no planning permission on it at all, so that is an area around the size of Hyde Park that at the moment no-one has got a clue what to do with. Is that figure still roughly the same according to your information?
