Sticking with consultation and the benefits of listening, incidentally I should welcome the start this week of a trial of a new bus service, the 603, from Muswell Hill to Swiss Cottage, which has only taken six years' worth of campaigning from local people and Liberal Democrats to get that one to a trial stage. Is it not high time - Lynne (Featherstone) to the fore on that one - that we had a proper system so that communities and individuals could actually propose new bus routes or alterations to existing services, with TfL and London Buses inviting those in...

Contracting is an obvious point to do it, but more widely and in terms of forward planning, so that there is genuinely a change of culture, because I think one of the criticisms from our side is, despite all the fine talk here about changing the culture in TfL, it has not actually flowed through as we have seen from the exchange just five minutes ago, in terms of a change of mentality, so that they genuinely are not adopting a `we know best', they are genuinely listening and genuinely giving an honest answer, rather than simply saying `no, that...

I have a few concerns. Firstly, that in relation to the bid is the funding package as convincing as it could be? And I presume, since the answer to this question is yes, that you are going to try and ensure that this is the case. The second stage is actually the financing of the Games, and there I do have some concerns.
