Once again, I am indebted to the eagle ear of the noble Lord. The issue that I was seeking to emphasise is that more than 60 per cent of the people who attended the games went to Sydney for a second time in a very short space of time. I hope that we will replicate that in London. At least we have the benefit of clarifying that for Hansard. I apologise for the slip.
We are concerned to maximise the legacy in all aspects and recognise that that is integral to the bid. Guaranteeing the legacy is not down to the Olympic Development Authority doing its work, but it is down to all those who are part of the development of the games who have a long-term interest and long-term obligation to our fellow citizens.
