The government has rejected a request from a group of football supporters to investigate the rental of the Olympic Stadium to West Ham United.

The supporters claimed the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) would subsidise rent, which it denied.
The group made up of trusts from clubs including Arsenal said it was "disappointed" by the decision but had expected it.
The government said the deal had been "scrutinised" and "upheld".
The LLDC, which owns the stadium, said West Ham contributed £15m to the £272m conversion of the stadium and the development corporation would also pay for "facilities and services" such as pitch maintenance and for stewarding on match days, which can cost £2.5m annually.
It is also understood the club will pay up to £2.5m a year in rent, although the LLDC said it would never reveal that information.
In comparison, Manchester City, who moved into the former Commonwealth Games stadium, pay overheads on top of £4m rent.
The coalition of supporters, made up of trusts from clubs including Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, started an online petition which had gained more than 24,000 signatures in favour of a public inquiry.
Mat Roper said the group remained concerned they were expected to see it as a "fabulous deal for the taxpayer" when they had not seen any figures to support the claim and one document they requested had been "completely redacted".
He said: "We're no nearer the truth of what we think is in the rental agreement....until we know that then we're going to continue.
"Whether it happens to be continuing with that petition, a new petition or... a new FOI request, it's certainly not dead in the water."
The group said they remained concerned the deal would give the Hammers a competitive advantage.
But the Department for Culture, Media and Sport said: "West Ham United has a concession at the stadium and their contributions reflect that status.
"The contract, awarded after an open public competition, has been widely scrutinised and tested in court.
"The stadium remains in public ownership and the profits from its multiple uses will flow to the taxpayer."
While West Ham will host all of their home matches at the stadium, British Athletics will take control of the arena for one month every summer.


Olympic bronze medallist Crista Cullen has given up protecting elephants, working for a security firm and running a fitness business to return to playing for Great Britain.

Cullen, 30, moved back to Kenya, where she spent much of her childhood, after helping GB finish third at London 2012.
Now she has been named in Britain's squad for December's World League Final in Argentina.
"I'm over the moon to make the cut," she told BBC Sport.
"Being from Kenya, and with my family out there, I was excited to go back home. After three years away I hadn't considered coming back, but then I was given an opportunity by the head coach Danny Kerry."
Cullen, who has 171 international caps, was the joint top scorer at London 2012 with four goals. She came out of retirement in July and played two practice matches against the United States in October.
When asked about what she did during her time away from the sport, Cullen said: "I've always worked outside hockey. When I returned to Kenya, I worked at a security firm and set up a 'cross fit' company. I also got my pilot's licence.
"I did voluntary work with wildlife conservancy that my dad mainly manages on the side of Tsavo East National Park in Kenya. We are suffering from elephant ivory and rhino horn poaching. I was trying to protect the small area we were looking after."
The defender's inclusion is one of three changes made by Kerry to the 18-woman squad who secured qualification for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro by winning the World League Semi-Final tournament in Spain in June. Great Britain are among eight teams at the finals, to be played in Rosario, Argentina, in December.
Goalkeepers: Maddie Hinch (Holcombe), Kirsty Mackay (East Grinstead).
Defenders: Crista Cullen (unattached), Emily Maguire (Reading), Sam Quek (Holcombe), Kate Richardson-Walsh (Reading), Laura Unsworth (East Grinstead), Hollie Webb (Surbiton).
Midfielders: Ashleigh Ball (Slough), Joie Leigh (Clifton), Helen Richardson-Walsh (Reading), Susannah Townsend (Canterbury), Georgie Twigg (Surbiton).
Forwards: Sophie Bray (East Grinstead), Alex Danson (Reading), Hannah Macleod (St Albans), Lily Owsley (Birmingham University), Nicola White (Holcombe).


Councillors and police say they are trying to stop thefts and vandalism at children's graves in Herefordshire.

Nearly 1,700 people signed a petition calling for CCTV to be installed after the incidents at Hereford Crematorium.
Ashley Bonsall, who began the petition, said he was "enraged" by thefts from his baby daughter's grave.
Herefordshire Council said low lighting at the site meant CCTV may not be the answer but it was "working to come up with an effective solution".

Two thefts of "sentimental ornaments" from graves were reported to officers in February, while earlier this month four male youths were issued warning letters following reports of anti-social behaviour at the crematorium in Westfaling Street, West Mercia Police said.
Mr Bonsall said a fairy ornament which had sentimental value for his family was taken from the grave of his daughter, Krystal Marie, who died aged 30 weeks.
"For someone to take it is just disgusting - I can't believe some people would stoop so low as to do this," he said.
Herefordshire Council said discussions over the provision of CCTV at the site were under way.
"The operation of CCTV in the area is difficult due to the low light and as to whether it would be effective or not - so we are working  to come up with an effective solution to help prevent this type of unacceptable behaviour again," a spokesman said.
Meanwhile, police appealed for anyone with information about the incidents to contact the force and said officers from Hereford Safer Neighbourhood Team would be carrying out "reassurance patrols".
"Thefts from cemeteries are completely thoughtless and cause a huge amount of upset and distress to the families whose loved ones' graves have been affected," a spokeswoman said.


Burnley manager Sean Dyche says winning the Championship "means a lot" to him after missing out on the title in 2014.

Dyche's side finished second in the 2013-14 season, eight points behind champions Leicester, and were relegated from the Premier League last term.
The Clarets sealed top spot by beating Charlton 3-0 on Saturday, and will be presented with the trophy on Monday.
"The main job is to get promoted. Once you've done that, you do want to win it," Dyche told BBC Radio Lancashire.
"It means a lot because we did it two years ago and we couldn't quite catch Leicester, although we had a good go trying with how many games we won towards the end.
"We made it clear at the beginning of the season our intentions, and I've been really pleased with that. We haven't blinked during it."
Burnley, who last won the second tier title in 1973, will be joined in the Premier League by Middlesbrough after they secured promotion with a 1-1 draw against Brighton on Saturday.


Junior doctors have been marching in London in protest at planned changes to their contracts in England.

Their union, the British Medical Association, says the plans will lead to a drop in junior doctors' salaries.
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has accused the BMA of misleading doctors and says the proposals would reduce their maximum weekly working hours.
The BMA rejected Mr Hunt's claim and said the rally in Westminster was a "wake-up call for ministers".
Thousands of junior doctors also staged rallies in Belfast and Nottingham.
Critics say the new contract involves pay cuts of up to 30%, with "normal hours" extended to include 07:00 to 22:00 every day except Sunday.
However Mr Hunt told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that the proposals would benefit doctors by reducing their maximum weekly working hours.
Mr Hunt said he wanted to remove financial penalties "that force hospitals to roster less at weekends" and was willing to negotiate over safeguards that will stop doctors from working too many hours.
"This is a good deal for doctors. We are reducing the maximum hours a doctor can be asked to work from 91 to 72 hours [a week]. We're stopping doctors being asked to work for five nights in a row."
Mr Hunt also called on the BMA to return to the negotiating table.
The BMA is demanding that the government withdraw its threat to impose the new contract in England from next year.
Scotland and Wales have both said they will maintain the old contract, while Northern Ireland has yet to decide.
Speaking to the BBC from the central London protest, junior doctor Animesh Singh said: "I have looked at the contract proposal with an accountant friend and looked at the kind of rotas I work.
"For me as an 11-year junior doctor I would see a 15% cut in my pay and that's someone who's looking after patients who come into casualty every day of my working life."
Before the rally in London, Dr Johann Malawana, chairman of the BMA junior doctors' committee said: "The truth is that the junior doctor contract is in no way a barrier to seven-day services, with the vast majority of junior doctors routinely providing care to patients 24/7."
Dr Dagan Lonsdale, a specialist registrar working in intensive care medicine, said: "If I am one of the doctors who loses out in this new contract, then again for my wife and I it becomes financially unviable for us to remain as doctors."
There is a sense that Jeremy Hunt's patience is wearing a little thin. His latest interview is in effect an attempt to sidestep the BMA and appeal to the wider body of junior doctors in England.
But the BMA's response is that the thousands of doctors protesting in London, Belfast and Nottingham demonstrate the strength of feeling and unity behind the campaign against the controversial new contract.
The question is how ministers will respond to the weekend's protests and the BMA's continuing planning for a ballot of members on industrial action.

The elections watchdog has recommended a change to the question to be put to voters in a future EU referendum.

The Electoral Commission said the wording proposed by ministers - "should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union?" - could be perceived as biased to the status quo.
It has proposed adding the words "or leave the European Union?"
The government has said it will accept the changes although the final decision will be made by Parliament.
However, the development has been welcomed by those campaigning to exit the EU.
The vote on the UK's membership of the European Union is due to take place before the end of 2017.
If the changes were made the options for voters in the referendum would be "Remain a member of the European Union" or "Leave the European Union" rather than the Yes/No options in the existing wording.
The watchdog said it was recommending the rethink after consulting members of the public, campaigners and academics.
While in its current form, the question was "easy for people to understand and answer", the watchdog said that by only setting out the  "remain" option and the "yes" response, it could "encourage voters to consider one response more favourably than the other" - that option being the status quo.
This, it warned, could potentially raise issues about the legitimacy of the eventual result, particularly in the eyes of those campaigning to leave the EU.
The amended question, it argued, "would not cause comparable concerns about neutrality, whilst also being easily understood".
"Any referendum question must be as clear as possible so that voters understand the important choice they are being asked to make," said its chair Jenny Watson.
"We have tested the proposed question with voters and received views from potential campaigners, academics and plain language experts."
"Whilst voters understood the question in the Bill some campaigners and members of the public feel the wording is not balanced and there was a perception of bias.
"The alternative question we have recommended addresses this. It is now for Parliament to discuss our advice and decide which question wording should be used."
Ms Watson said it was standard practice for the watchdog to recommend changes to referendum questions and it showed the process was working normally.
MPs will consider the issue when they return from their summer recess next week as part of legislation paving the way for the vote. But ministers said they would table changes to the EU Referendum Bill to enact the new wording.
"The prime minister's objective has always been clear - to give people a very clear and simple choice," a No 10 spokeswoman said.
"We believe that will still be achieved with the recommendation from the Electoral Commission today."
UKIP leader Nigel Farage said the change was welcome, tweeting: "I'm in no doubt that the Yes/No offering was leading to great confusion and that Remain or Leave is much clearer. That, combined with a more explicit question, is the right direction of travel."
Should the wording be changed, it will cast doubt on the approach of the embryonic Yes and No campaigns.
Although the campaigns have yet to be formally launched, it had been assumed that they would campaign under the banner of yes or no as in recent referendums on Scottish independence and the future of the UK voting system.
The UK Independence Party said on Tuesday that it would launch its own 'Out' campaign and that it expected two similar non-party groups formed by lobbyists and business figures to eventually merge.
The watchdog has also recommended a change to the wording of the Welsh language version of the question.
Meanwhile, the Archbishop of Canterbury has warned against unnecessary rancour in the debate over Europe, saying there will be "thoughtful and committed people, including Christians on both sides" of the argument.
"There will be talk of national sovereignty, of national confidence, of repatriation of laws, or being bound by European laws over which we have no control," Justin Welby said, as he marked the launch of the Church's new re-imagining Europe website.
"The only certainty is that there will be much heat, probably slightly less light, but that it is a hugely important decision."


Motherwell, Greenock and Arbroath are Scotland's most affordable commuter towns, according to a banking survey.

The Bank of Scotland examined house prices in towns within an hour's commute of Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow.
It measured them against average earnings, both locally and in relation to the nearest city.
Despite being almost 40 miles away, Motherwell topped the list as the most affordable commuter town to Edinburgh.
The North Lanarkshire town had an average house price of £130,268 compared to £225,133 in the capital.
Greenock was found to be the most affordable town in commuting distance to Glasgow, with an average house price of £120,927 compared to the Glasgow figure of £161,623. Motherwell came in second.
The report on Aberdeen found Arbroath - more than 50 miles and an hour's drive away - was the best value, with an average house price of £127,497 compared to £210,522 in Aberdeen.
The bank said commuters with a half-hour drive into Aberdeen faced average property prices of £234,143.
A separate study, How Scotland Lives, found that a shorter commute to work led to increased happiness, with those having less than a 15-minute journey claiming to be happiest.
Graham Blair, mortgage director at Bank of Scotland, said: "The length of the commute to work is a key factor when deciding where to set up home. Scotland has some great commuter towns where considerable savings on property can be made.
"However, the decision to commute is not one that should be made just on the finances. We know from our How Scotland Lives research that those who don't have to travel long distances to work are often happier.
"There are many things to take into account when looking for a new home, not just the journey time to work.
"Quality of schools, sense of space and sense of community are also important to many house hunters across Scotland."


A police officer has been arrested on suspicion of possessing a controlled drug after staff at a nightclub raised concerns about his behaviour.

Merseyside Police said the 33-year-old man, from Southport, was arrested in the early hours of Friday.
The manager of Beach Bar, in Waverley Street, told the Liverpool Echo the man, who appeared intoxicated, had attempted to buy drugs from customers.
He was removed from the club and arrested before being released on bail.

"I know, even during my short time here, that the people of Manchester will pull together as one."
Ajax manager Peter Bosz said: "What happened yesterday evening in Manchester is something we all feel in Ajax and on behalf of all of us at Ajax we express our sympathies with the victims that fell. The feeling that prevails is the final does not have the glow it should have.
"Tomorrow evening should be a football feast but because of the events in Manchester we are affected. It is horrible. My sympathies are heartfelt."
Football's European governing body Uefa announced a minute's silence will be observed prior to the final. The opening ceremony will also be considerably reduced as a mark of respect for the victims.
Aleksander Ceferin, president of Uefa, said he was "deeply saddened" and shocked that "so many innocent people lost their lives".
A Uefa statement said there was "currently no specific intelligence" to suggest Wednesday's game could be a target for further attacks.
"Uefa has been closely working with local authorities and the Swedish FA for many months and the terrorist risk had been taken into account since the very beginning of the project," it said.
"Furthermore, a number of additional security measures were implemented following the attacks in Stockholm last April."
There will be a minute's silence observed at Headingley cricket ground before England's one-day international against South Africa on Wednesday.

Chinese football is once again set to flex its financial muscle with the recruitment of another worldwide football star.

The eye-watering £60m Shanghai SIPG are reported to be spending on Chelsea's Brazil midfielder Oscar follows a recent trend:
Oscar is expected to become the third-highest earner in the sport - receiving an estimated £400,000 a week - although that status might be short-lived with reports of other high-profile names set to follow when the pre-season transfer window opens in January.
With that in mind, let's take a look at how China's spending might again send shockwaves around world football.
Media playback is not supported on this device
It is hard to say at this stage - but huge fees and staggering salaries have been bandied about.
The big spenders over the past two seasons have been Shanghai SIPG, Jiangsu Suning, champions Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao and Shanghai Shenhua. Nine of the most expensive signings in Chinese club football were made by that quartet.
So aside from Oscar, who else might be lured before the 2017 Super League campaign begins in March?
There are strong rumours that Shanghai Shenhua - managed by former Sunderland boss Gus Poyet - are set to sign former Manchester United and Manchester City forward Carlos Tevez from Boca Juniors in a deal that would reportedly earn the Argentina international £31.5m a year - an astonishing weekly wage of £605,000.
And France Football reported that Paris St-Germain and Uruguay striker Edinson Cavani could join newly promoted Tianjin Quanjian - managed by former Italy defender Fabio Cannavaro - for a 50m euros (£41.79m) fee and a £16.7m salary.
It is also rumoured that the club also want Argentina midfielder Javier Pastore from the French champions.
Marlon Harewood, who played for Guangzhou R&F  in 2011, on BBC Radio 5 live
My experience was amazing. The team I was with looked after me very well.
There is a lot of money in China. They've seen the Premier League and want to bring that to their country. The way to do that is bring in the best.
The standard of football is high. They have great quality players.
The wage Oscar will be getting is phenomenal.
The next transfer window opens on 1 January and closes on 28 February.
Chinese Super League clubs spent £200m before the start of the 2016 campaign.
The transfer record was broken three times in 10 days, with Jiangsu Suning paying Shakhtar Donetsk £38.4m for Brazilian midfielder Alex Teixeira having recruited his compatriot Ramires for £25m from Chelsea a few days earlier.
Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao brought in Colombia striker Jackson Martinez for £31m from Atletico Madrid.
However, the fee for Teixeira was eclipsed by the £46.1m (55.8m euros) paid by Shanghai SIPG for Zenit St Petersburg's Brazil forward Hulk during the mid-season summer window.
As we speculate how much could be spent, it is worth a recap of why clubs have so much money to spend.
After two failed attempts to start a football revolution in recent years, it looks like this one has legs because it has the full backing of President Xi Jinping - a big football fan.
The government wants China to be a "world football superpower" by 2050 and aims to develop a national team capable of winning the World Cup. They are ranked 83rd in the world at the moment.
A strong domestic league would help, in part, to realise these targets, so China has encouraged big businesses to essentially bankroll the domestic clubs. The chart above shows what types of companies are backing the 16 Chinese Super League clubs.
Companies have also been encouraged to invest abroad with Manchester City, West Brom and Aston Villa among the English clubs to have received money from the country over the past year.
And in November, it was reported that Chinese video streaming service PPTV was set to pay $700m (£560m) for Premier League rights - the English top flight's biggest overseas broadcast sale.
If the reported value is confirmed, it would be worth 10 times more than the league's existing China TV deal.


Guy Martin will not be racing at next month's Ulster Grand Prix because of TV commitments in America.

The Tyco BMW rider, who was injured in a 130mph crash at Ireland's Corner last August, also sat out this year's North West 200 and Isle of Man TT.
Gary Dunlop will make his debut with his father's famous number three plate.
"I've never let anyone since Joey ride as number three but who better to use it than Gary," said clerk of the course Noel Johnston.
"I think it'll be pretty special to see it on the grid after all these years."
Joey Dunlop won a record 26 Isle of Man TTs and 24 Ulster GPs before he was killed in a crash while racing in Estonia in July 2000.
Michael Dunlop and Ian Hutchinson both return to Dundrod gunning for the top step of the podium with Dean Harrison, Ivan Lintin, Lee Johnston, William Dunlop, Peter Hickman, Bruce Anstey, Dan Kneen, Conor Cummins and Christian Elkin among the 173 entries.
Johnston said the absence of Martin, who will be in Utah filming a land speed record attempt, is "a shame, but in no way will there be any less of a spectacle for the fans".
He added: "I'm very pleased with the final entry list and think it says a lot about the popularity of the event that the total number of entries are growing year on year, as is the number of newcomers [54] coming to Dundrod."
Martin has presented a number of TV programmes in recent years, most notably Channel 4's Speed with Guy Martin.
The 2016 Ulster Grand Prix will run between August 8 and 13.


Police Scotland is facing criticism after it took three days for officers to investigate a crashed car that had a dead man and critically injured woman inside.

John Yuill, 28, and Lamara Bell, 25, were found in a blue Renault Clio just off the M9 near Stirling on Wednesday.
The force later admitted they had been told about the crash on Sunday morning.
Ms Bell's family has told BBC Scotland they were angry and disgusted by the police's handling of the case.
They said Ms Bell was in a medically induced coma in hospital after suffering broken bones and kidney damage which was caused by dehydration.
Doctors at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow have described her condition as "critical".
Mr Yuill's father, Gordon Yuill, has told the Daily Record newspaper that his son's injuries were so severe that he would have died on impact after the Clio left the motorway and plunged down a tree-lined embankment.
But Andrew Bell, the father of Lamara, told STV News his daughter was conscious when found and had been speaking to firefighters.
He added: "She thought she had been there for 30 minutes."
Mr Bell also revealed that on Sunday morning he had unknowingly driven by the spot where his daughter was later found.
He added: "I went past the crash, not even 100 yards away from her. If anything happens I've got to tell myself that."
Mr Yuill and Ms Bell both had children of their own.
Scottish Justice Secretary Michael Matheson, who was speaking as the MSP for Falkirk West, said he wanted "early answers" about the tragedy, and that Police Scotland had assured him all relevant information would be passed on to investigators.
He told BBC Radio Scotland's John Beattie programme: "My understanding is that it appears that this car has come off the road at some point on Sunday and that a call was made to Police Scotland.
"And the call handler for some reason noted that information, but a crew was not dispatched to investigate the issue.
Mr Matheson added: "It's understandable that the families have many questions they want answers to. I want answers too on their behalf. Why was a crew not dispatched at the time when the initial call was received? Even then, why was there a gap of several days before police then investigated?
"I'm keen to ensure that this investigation is taken forward in a quick and very swift way."
Police could be seen on Thursday afternoon searching the area where the couple's car had eventually been found.
The Police Investigations and Review Commissioner (Pirc) is looking into the case, but there have been calls for a wider inquiry, with several politicians saying Police Scotland had serious questions to answer.
There had been an ongoing search for the couple in the area earlier this week, with police circulating photographs of the couple and their car after their families reported them missing on Sunday.
They had last been seen leaving Loch Earn in Stirlingshire in the early hours of Sunday morning.
A Pirc spokesman said the investigation into why the telephone call made to Police Scotland later that day, which reported their car was off the road, was not followed up.
He added: "The commissioner's investigation will also examine the robustness of Police Scotland's missing person inquiry and look at why that inquiry was not linked with the information received in the call."
Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie said the government should review whether a "wider independent investigation" should be held, saying the couple had been "failed" by police.
He said: "Everyone agrees that a three day delay between the initial call to the control room and finding the couple is unacceptable and we need to establish why this happened.
"I know police officers have been deeply affected by this case. There is great upset within the force, and it is of such importance that serious questions must be answered.
"It is right that the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner is investigating the matter but that may not be enough - a wider independent investigation may be required."
Scottish Labour MSP Elaine Murray said: "Local Police control rooms across Scotland have been closed and the effectiveness of the 101 service has been called into question. It is essential that the Pirc inquiry investigates whether the new call centre arrangements led to the report of this tragic accident not being followed up."
Conservative MSP Murdo Fraser also said the "truly shocking incident" must be investigated in depth.
He added: "People lying unattended at the side of the road for days is something you'd be surprised to encounter in the third world."


The BBC has confirmed Top Gear will return in 2016 without Jeremy Clarkson - but who is likely to fill his leather brogues?

Chris Evans - a classic car nut and speed freak - has already ruled himself out of the running, but here are some of the people producers may (or may not) be considering.
Model Jodie Kidd is a former racing driver who currently presents The Classic Car Show on Channel 5.
"I've always liked everything high-octane," she told The Express last year - and, true to her word, she once held the pole position on Top Gear's "Star In A Reasonably Priced Car" leaderboard, completing her circuit in 1 minute, 48 seconds.
As a friend of the programme - she also took part in 2010's Ashes Special - she is likely to be high on the producers' wishlist.
But last year, she ruled out a permanent role on the show: "I couldn't join those boys. No, God no," she told the Radio Times.
On Red Nose Day, affable comedian John Bishop was among the first to lampoon Jeremy Clarkson over his suspension.
Imploring viewers to send money to poverty-stricken children in Uganda, he said: "I'm not saying I'll punch someone over food - that's Jeremy Clarkson's job."
The star's irreverent humour, combined with an eye for telling detail, make him a perfect fit for Top Gear's shaggy dog storytelling.
The show's endurance challenges won't pose a problem - he once cycled overland from Australia to Liverpool to raise money for the NSPCC.
And he's another high achiever in a Reasonably Priced Car. His lap time, driving a Kia Cee'd, was 1 minute, 42.8 seconds.
Suzi Perry has been covering Formula 1 since 2013. Before that she was the BBC's MotoGP motorcycle racing correspondent for 13 years.
She undoubtedly knows her stuff - and, it transpires, she's been asked to host the show before.
"Years ago, when TV was about to bring Top Gear back and rebrand it with Jeremy, James [May] and Richard [Hammond], I sat down and talked to Andy Wilman, the series producer, about joining them," she told the Telegraph last year.
"I remember thinking, 'I might be out of my depth and it might not be a good idea', instead of grabbing the opportunity.
"Looking back, I may have made a large error, but it's not like I didn't work for the next 15 years. I don't regret it - but it was probably a bad decision."
Recently released from his ITV contract, Adrian Chiles is undoubtedly looking for a new, high-profile TV job.
A hugely talented sports broadcaster, he is better known for football punditry than his knowledge of cars - but he once spent a day shadowing motor racing boss Eddie Jordan for a BBC documentary.
His everyman style and droll sense of humour would be a good fit for Top Gear - but BBC bosses will note that Chiles was once forced to apologise by ITV after implying Polish football supporters were all builders.
Given Top Gear's track record, though, that might be considered a qualification.
When most of her peers were obsessing over Duran Duran, Vicki Butler Henderson fell in love with a Volkswagen Golf GTI MkII.
She began racing 100cc karts at the age of 12 and was overtaken by David Coulthard in her first race. But she also went on to became the first women ever to win a Maserati race, in 2002.
A former road Tester at What Car? magazine, she made regular appearances on Top Gear before jumping ship to work as a presenter on Channel 5's Fifth Gear.
Butler-Henderson counts Jeremy Clarkson as a friend, meaning he may put in a good word for her with Top Gear's producers.
He heaped praise on her driving skills after racing her in 2010.
"I was in an Aston Martin DBS convertible. She was in a Ferrari California and we had most of Silverstone to play with. By rights, I should have kicked her arse. I had four more cylinders, a million more horsepowers and two more testicles. I didn't though. I couldn't even get close.
Yes, he ruled himself out - but that was before Clarkson was sacked.
The BBC Radio 2 presenter is a self-confessed petrolhead, who has one of the most prestigious car collections in Britain. Among his previous purchases is a £12 million 1963 Ferrari 250GTO.
He's also admitted that he'd be a good fit for Top Gear, telling his breakfast show audience: "From what I've seen on Twitter and various social media, there's a 50/50 split approximately as to whether me being involved in the show is a good idea.
"In TV or radio, if you get a 50/50 love/hate reaction that usually equals massive hit. I used to work for [ratings body] Barb and knock on people's doors and this was the rule of thumb.
"However, I'm in the 'no' camp. So regardless of whether it would be a hit, I'm voting a no for myself on that show, so that's never going happen."
No doubt the BBC will try to change his mind over the next few months.
When Clarkson was suspended, a petition to have Alan Partridge installed as his successor attracted thousands of signatures.
Partridge drove a Rover 800 - and wore a Castrol GTX jacket to a funeral - but his real-life alter-ego, comedian Steve Coogan, is a serious car enthusiast.
He once owned a £100,000 Ferrari, but used it so little he admitted that "for a round trip from Brighton to Manchester and back it would have been cheaper to hire a twin-engined light aircraft".
However, he is not a fan of Top Gear's humour.
"If I say anything remotely racist or sexist as Alan Partridge, for example, the joke is abundantly clear. We are laughing at a lack of judgment and ignorance," he wrote in The Observer four years ago.
"With Top Gear it is three rich, middle-aged men laughing at poor Mexicans."
The list of potential candidates is long and exhaustive.
Former racing drivers Tiff Needell, Eddie Irvine and Eddie Jordan are all being tipped by bookmakers, as are London Mayor Boris Johnson and Jamiroquai singer Jay Kay.
X Factor presenter Dermot O'Leary, owner of a classic 1968 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia, has also been mooted for the job, as have Geordie duo Ant and Dec.
Charismatic motorcycle racer Guy Martin is considered a fan favourite. He previously presented a series on land speed records for Channel 4 - which saw him set a new world sledge speed record of 83.5 mph.
Rowan Atkinson - who is currently the second-fastest "Star In A Reasonably Priced Car" at 1 minute, 42.2 seconds - is another contender, although the BBC may struggle to insure him.
The Blackadder star is responsible for the UK's biggest ever car insurance payout. It cost his insurance company £910,000 to repair his 240mph McLaren F1, after he crashed it into a tree in 2011.


Centre-half Reda Johnson's injury-time header rescued a point for Coventry City against Oldham in League One.

Ex-City loan striker Danny Philliskirk looked to have made a dramatic return to the Ricoh Arena by giving the Latics a 13th-minute lead from close range.
But, when the referee awarded six minutes of time added on, it inspired City's grand finale.
Striker Frank Nouble lofted a right-wing cross to the far post - and Johnson powered in a header.
On a night when four of their fellow League One strugglers also drew, Coventry moved a little closer to safety, now four points clear of trouble with three games left - although their next game is a trip to newly-promoted Bristol City.
Coventry wasted a great early chance from Nouble's far-post knockdown, when the ball came at an awkward height for Nick Proschwitz, whose looping close-range header was too weak to beat Oldham goalkeeper Joel Coleman.
And they were quickly made to pay from a classic training ground routine when Connor Brown pulled back for Philliskirk to clip home a low left-footed shot from six yards.
But, other than Coleman having to touch over Grant Ward's inswinging corner on the stroke of half time, City produced little threat of note until Johnson's late intervention, leaving them with a record of just one win in six home games under new boss Tony Mowbray.
Coventry manager Tony Mowbray told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire:
"One more will get us over the line. That was the best performance we've put in at home since I came here.
"The fans were great for us. They sucked the ball in. There might have been only 7,000 here but they made that much noise, it made it sound like there were 27,000.
"The Oldham players complained to the ref that Frank Nouble had fouled Connor Brown in the build-up to our equaliser, but I didn't think it was a foul."


A retired newsagent's death after a hospital fall could have been prevented if action had been taken to reduce risks, an inquest has heard.

Arthur Whitfield, 83, from Colwyn Bay, died after falling from a bed or chair at Llandudno Hospital in October 2015.
A post-mortem examination found he died from a number of falls.
Recording a narrative conclusion at the inquest in Ruthin, Denbighshire, the deputy coroner said "many opportunities had been missed" to stop him falling.
Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board carried out a serious incident review that revealed failings.
It is now looking at how it identifies patients at risk of falls.
The inquest heard Mr Whitfield was admitted to Glan Clwyd Hospital, Bodelwyddan, at least three times in October 2015 after falling.
On 21 October, he was transferred to Llandudno Hospital and while a fall eight days later was not witnessed, he was twice seen trying to climb out of bed.
He died on 30 October, with a post-mortem examination revealing bleeding on the brain.
Pathologist Dr Andrew Dalton told the inquest he did not die from a single fall, but "falls".
Following his death, the health board carried out a serious incident review and admitted a risk assessment was not carried out as promptly as it should have been.
"It beggars belief that after all the earlier incidents it could happen again," said North Wales East and Central deputy coroner Nicola Jones.
Recording a narrative conclusion, she said because there were so many falls, it was not possible to reach a conclusion of accidental death.
Ms Jones issued a regulation 28 report stating that until new methods are introduced, the risk to others still exist.
"If these matters are not introduced there will be future deaths," she added.
After the hearing, Mr Whitfield's daughter Elizabeth said the family faced difficulty in raising concerns with hospital staff.
A health board spokesman said: "We fully accept the coroner's findings and are reviewing the way we identify patients at risk of falls."


Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has told Gareth Bale's agent to "stay quiet" after he suggested the forward's team-mates did not pass to him enough.

Jonathan Barnett claimed the 25-year-old Welshman is suffering because of a lack of help from other Real players.
"This is a world in which a lot of people talk and sometimes they talk too much," said Ancelotti.
"Bale has never had problems with his team-mates and his team-mates have never had problems with Bale."
Bale is the world's most expensive player after being signed in a £85.3m deal from Premier League side Tottenham in September 2013.
The ex-Southampton trainee scored 24 goals in 46 games during his debut season, helping Madrid win the Champions League and Copa del Rey.
But he has been jeered by some supporters this season and has faced heavy criticism from sections of the Spanish press.
Bale, who has scored 15 goals in 44 matches this season, also came under scrutiny for his display in last week's Champions League semi-final defeat at Juventus.
"Bale's agent, who has never been to one of our training sessions, who doesn't know the atmosphere we have, spoke from outside," added Ancelotti, before Wednesday's return leg where Madrid are aiming to overturn a 2-1 deficit.
"It would have been better to stay quiet. We are happy with Bale's season."


The US is hitting so-called Islamic State (IS) harder than ever, President Barack Obama has said in a speech at the Pentagon.

November saw more airstrikes launched against the group than in any previous month, he said.
He said the US had killed a number of its leaders and attacked oil facilities it relies on for cash.
He has been seeking to reassure the public following an attack in California at the hands of militants.
Fourteen people were shot dead by a radicalised Muslim couple, weeks after the killing of 130 people by Islamist gunmen in Paris.
On Thursday he will visit the National Counterterrorism Center in Virginia, where he is also expected to speak.
The National Security Council (NSC) held a rare outside-of-the-White House meeting at the Pentagon ahead of Mr Obama's remarks.
The marquee visits come about a week after Mr Obama gave a major televised address to reassure the public of his strategy and to warn against anti-Muslim sentiment in the US.
In recent weeks, US fears of a terror attack have swelled, with about 70% of Americans saying the risk of an attack in the US is at least somewhat high.
Just before the Thanksgiving holiday in November, Mr Obama delivered a speech saying that there was no "specific or credible" threat of a terrorist attack in the US.


Portaferry's Ciara Mageean produced a superb run to win a 1500m bronze medal at the European Championships.

Despite the unusually slow early pace, Mageean held her nerve to take third place in 4:33.78 behind surprise Polish winner Angelika Cichocka (4:33.00).
Mageean, 24, very nearly ran down Dutch favourite Sifan Hassan for the silver as she claimed Ireland's only medal at the Amsterdam championships.
The success earned Mageean her first medal at senior international level.
Mageean's impressive junior career included silver medals at both the world junior and world youth championships.
Her career was then stalled by a serious foot injury but Mageean battled back after almost two years out to qualify for this year's Olympics and her medal in Amsterdam should give her huge confidence ahead of her Rio challenge.
The Northern Irishwoman confessed to almost a sense of mixed feelings after Sunday's "messy" race.
Mageean attempted to stay on the kerb throughout Sunday's final but that led to her getting boxed in on a couple of occasions and she had to move out wide on the closing straight before launching her late medal-winning charge.
"If I had a clear run on the home straight I think it would have been a different story," Mageean told RTE Sport.
"For me, it's a fantastic place to be, to be a little bit disappointed with a medal in the European seniors.
"I'm ecstatic with a little bit of disappointment. That's a testament to any athlete who wants to do even better than they have.
"I wanted to run the shortest race, get the inside line but that means it can be messy."
Mageean added that Sunday's medal win came on the same weekend of the year that she had to undergo ankle surgery in 2013.
Meanwhile, Mageean's fellow county Down woman Kerry O'Flaherty finished a creditable 12th in the women's 3,000m steeplechase final in Amsterdam.
Cork athlete Michelle Finn was the best of the three Irish finalists as she set a new personal best of 9:43.19 to finish in seventh spot.
Meath woman Sara Treacy clocked 9:45.19 to take ninth with O'Flaherty crossing the line in 9:45.88, 3.27 seconds outside her personal best set in Letterkenny last year.
Ireland men's 4x400m relay squad suffered probable Olympic heartbreak as their fifth place in the final saw them missing out on Rio qualification by 0.20 seconds.
The Irish needed to better Japan's time of 3:04.12 to earn a spot in the world's top 16 rankings which would have guaranteed a place in Rio.
However despite brilliant closing legs from David Gillick and Thomas Barr, Ireland came home in 3:04.32.
Belgium took the title in 3:01.10 as Britain, minus individual 400m winner Martyn Rooney, faded to third spot as Matthew Hudson-Smith lost their lead in the closing metres, with Poland taking silver.


Flats have been evacuated near to the ss Great Britain in Bristol following a "possible chemical incident", Avon and Somerset Police said.

A bomb disposal team has been deployed to Gas Ferry Road and a cordon has been put in place after the "discovery of items" in one of the flats.
One man has been detained in connection with the incident, police said.
Residents told the Bristol Post homes were evacuated at about 20:00 BST due to a "threat" to one of the buildings.
The ss Great Britain is moored in the city and a popular visitor attraction.
A Bristol City Council spokesman said people living in Kingdom House, Steamship House, Great Western House, Great Eastern House and Horsley House have been told to leave their homes.
A rest centre has been set up at the nearby Spike Island building in Cumberland Road.


Egyptian authorities have deported a popular British-Lebanese television talkshow host, Liliane Daoud.

Ms Daoud, a former BBC journalist, was detained by plainclothes policemen at her home in Cairo on Monday and put on a plane to Beirut.
The move came hours after her contract was terminated by privately-owned OnTV.
Her show, Al-Soura Al-Kamila (The Full Picture), controversially aired views critical of President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi and his government.
Mr Sisi has cracked down on dissent since leading the military's overthrow of President Mohammed Morsi in 2013.
Ms Daoud's 10-year-old daughter, an Egyptian national, was at their home when her mother was led away by police. Officers reportedly confiscated Ms Daoud's mobile phone and British passport.
There was no formal explanation for Ms Daoud's deportation, but a security official told the Associated Press (AP) that her residency permit had expired.
Shortly before her arrest, Ms Daoud had written on Twitter: "I am announcing the official termination of my contract with OnTV after five years that began in 2011."
Ms Daoud's lawyer, Zyad el-Elaimy, said her first comment after landing in Beirut was that she would challenge the decision.
"It's the first time someone is deported in this fashion in Egypt," Mr Elaimy told AP by telephone from Cairo.
The Egyptian authorities, he added, were "not prepared to hear any diverse voices or to hear anyone who is supportive" of the 2011 uprising that toppled longtime President Hosni Mubarak.
"This is a campaign against respectable media and free journalism," said Al-Soura Al-Kamila's editor-in-chief, Amer Tamam.
"All we were doing was presenting a respectable show... so we don't know what we are being punished for."
OnTV was sold last month by the billionaire businessman Naguib Sawiris to Ahmed Abou Hashima, a steel magnate and Sisi supporter.
Mohamed ElBaradei, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate who served briefly as interim vice-president after Morsi was ousted, praised Ms Daoud for her "professionalism, credibility and courage".
"One day we may have enough self-confidence to understand the value of having different opinions," he wrote on Twitter.
Satirist Bassem Youssef, whose TV show was taken off air for its criticism of the government, said her arrest was "just the beginning".
"Egypt... can't tolerate the rest of the world,'' he wrote on Facebook.
In May, the head of the Egyptian journalists' union and two other top members were recently charged with harbouring fugitives following a police raid of the union's headquarters that saw two journalists for an opposition website arrested.
Also on Monday, the prominent feminist activist Mozn Hassan was banned from travelling to Beirut for a meeting of women human rights defenders.
Nazra for Feminist Studies, which Ms Hassan founded, said she was barred due to her alleged involvement in a case in which non-governmental organisations have been accused of receiving foreign funds with the aim of sowing chaos.

American Jason Dufner heads into the final round of the CareerBuilder Challenge with a two-shot lead after carding an eight-under-par 64 in California.

The 38-year-old sank 10 birdies but bogeys on the 10th and 15th prevented him building a bigger advantage.
Compatriot Jamie Lovemark is in second place after shooting a round of 65.
Five-time major winner Phil Mickleson, also American, climbed the leaderboard with a 66 and trails Dufner by six.
Scotland's Martin Laird made the cut after a 69 moved him to 10 under par but England's Luke Donald (71) missed out.


The Archbishop of Canterbury is working with other Christian churches to agree on a fixed date for Easter.

Justin Welby made the announcement after a meeting of primates from the Anglican Communion in Canterbury.
In the UK, an act of Parliament passed in 1928 allowed for Easter Sunday to be fixed on the first Sunday after the second Saturday in April.
However, this has never been activated and Easter has remained variable, determined by the moon's cycle.
Easter is the most important Christian festival, as it celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ following his death by crucifixion on Good Friday.
The archbishop said he was in talks with Pope Francis, Coptic leader Pope Tawadros, and the leader of the Orthodox church Patriarch Bartholomew.
Mr Welby said he hoped the change would happen "in between five and 10 years time".
"I would love to see it before I retired", he said, although he warned the first attempt to make such a change was in the 10th Century.
An Anglican source told the BBC there had been 15 attempts to agree a common date since then.
Easter is on the first Sunday after the first ecclesiastical full moon following the spring equinox, meaning it can be celebrated on a Sunday between 22 March and 25 April.
But the Orthodox church follows the Julian calendar, hence has later Easter celebrations compared with those of Western Christianity.
In 1990, the Vatican approved a proposal for a fixed date, which was subject to agreement with other Christian churches and governments. It has not yet been reached.


Brazilian author Paulo Coelho's novel The Alchemist has spent almost seven years on the New York Times bestseller list.

The novel about a Spanish shepherd's voyage to Egypt gained immediate popularity in the author's native Brazil.
But Coelho himself has credited the translation into English in 1994 for his novel's international success.
"In the publishing world outside of the United States, nobody reads Spanish, much less Portuguese," he told the New York Times in a 1999 interview.
"Translation into English made it possible for other editors to read me."
Now The Alchemist is available in 67 languages.
But translating Brazilian Portuguese for an English-speaking audience is no easy task.
From words that have no equivalent to cultural references and concepts, translators must find a balance between being faithful to the original work while giving the reader the most accurate understanding of Brazilianisms.
"It's important not to treat the reader like an idiot," says Zoe Perry, translator of Coelho's latest novel, Adultery.
"I only put in footnotes things that are very culturally specific, that only those who grew up in Brazil would know.
"If it's something you can easily put into Google and find, it's better to leave it."
References to Brazil's military dictatorship from 1964 to 1985 and its sizeable population of Japanese immigrants are among those sometimes left unexplained.
Yet although today's readers can easily cross-reference queries online within seconds, Brazilian literature sometimes deals with issues so specific that even native readers may not recognise them.
Paulo Lins's novel City of God, which was turned into a box office hit movie of the same name in 2002, was about drug gang culture within Rio's favelas, a concept that is itself often misunderstood.
The novel is full of street slang, including the creative gang nicknames such as Seu Jorge's character Mane Galinha (Mane being short for Manuel and Galinha literally meaning "chicken", as well as being used as a term for someone who has many partners).
Alison Entrekin, who translated City of God into English, in the end settled on Knockout.
"Sometimes, the translator has to choose something when it is simply impossible to find an equivalent word," she explains.
Ms Entrekin says that sometimes it is not just foreign readers who will be unacquainted with certain terms but native speakers, too, especially if the words used are particular to a certain group.
"If the book is cultured, it's easier but with lower registers, it's more of a problem, and it was like this translating City of God," she says.
Other things are specific to a certain region.
She says she once translated a book that made reference to an "azulejado", an outdoor barbecue area decorated with blue tiling.
"It's an immediate image that Brazilians would know," she said but one which can test translators.
Ms Entrekin said one of her most recent translation challenges was a children's book about a poet bunny rabbit called Fuzz McFlops.
The book is partly about the rabbit's frustrated attempts at poetry and partly about different forms of communication, including letters, addresses and the Brazilian equivalent of a postcode.
"Despite being for children, it was very complicated." Ms Entrekin recalls.
"It was full of puns. I had to reinvent everything," she says.
"If there's a joke that works in one language but not in another, you have to tell another joke."
In the end, the part of the book dealing with the different forms of communication took her five times longer to translate than another book of the same size.
Ms Perry says working together with other translators sometimes helps, especially when the authors are not available to help with queries or questions.
"I didn't have contact with the author of the first book I translated and I felt the absence," she says.
"And with Paulo Coelho's book, I also had no contact with him. I imagine he has a lot of translators."
But, as Coelho's career has shown, translators are essential to promoting Brazilian literature around the world and, depending on their individual agreements, they receive a percentage of the royalties from book sales as well as a fixed fee for the translation.
"In the case of Paulo Coelho, I insist on royalties," jokes Ms Perry.
"But there are others for which I'll never receive royalties," she says.
Royalties or not, what is important to her is that the editor values the translator's work: "The fact that you contribute to the success of the book."


An agreement has been reached with the drug manufacturer GSK to provide a meningitis B vaccine for all UK babies, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has said.

The deal with GlaxoSmithKline will enable the vaccine to be rolled out "this year", easing one of the "biggest worries" for parents, he said.
It follows a long-running stand-off over its cost.
Advisers recommended last year that all UK children over two months old should be given the vaccine on the NHS.
Campaigners have warned the Department of Health that delays are putting children's lives at risk.
Scotland's health secretary, Shona Robison, said the vaccine would be introduced to the immunisation programme for all infants in Scotland "as quickly as possible" following the deal - which was also made on behalf of the devolved government.
Mr Hunt said he was "delighted" to have secured an agreement with GSK - the company that now manufactures the vaccine.
It follows lengthy negotiations with another supplier - Novartis - which used to own the vaccine, called Bexsero.
GSK acquired the vaccine from Novartis, which resulted in the price of the vaccine being reduced and the deal being struck, Mr Hunt said.
Announcing the agreement, he said: "I think that this is something families across the country - particularly ones with young children - will particularly welcome."
The vaccine has been available privately in the UK - but the deal could mean the jab is offered as part of a routine childhood vaccination programme.
It comes after charities called for urgent action from the prime minister and Mr Hunt to conclude negotiations with manufacturers.
Meningitis is a bacterial infection that usually affects children under the age of one. There are about 1,870 cases of meningitis B each year in the UK.
Symptoms include a high fever with cold hands and feet, confusion, vomiting and headaches. Most children will make a full recovery with early diagnosis and antibiotic treatment.
It is fatal in one in 10 cases. About one in four of those who survive is left with long-term problems, such as amputation, deafness, epilepsy and learning difficulties.
Q&A: Meningitis B vaccine


The story behind a WW1 medal discovered in a cupboard at a police headquarters has been pieced together by officers.

South Yorkshire Police made an appeal for information in July to coincide with the Battle of the Somme anniversary.
The medal was awarded posthumously to Sgt Francis Bark of Calver, Derbyshire, who died of gas poisoning in France in May 1918.
Sgt Bark worked for Sheffield's police service from 1913 until World War One.
The forced thanked the public for their help in solving the mystery.
A spokesman said: "With a huge thank you to all of you who helped piece together the story of Sgt Francis Bark, we are pleased to tell the story of an officer/soldier who gave his life for others nearly 100 years ago."
The soldier died of gas poisoning aged 26 on the day his battalion was due to leave the frontline for a well-earned rest.
A diary entry from 27 April 1918 stated: "The enemy burst 9 of our gas cylinders by shell fire amongst a post and working party of 'A' company 2 Lt Harding and fifty other rank casualties."
He was awarded the medal "for bravery in rescuing a comrade during a gas attack, at the cost of his own life".
The medal, with 14 shillings, was given to his father who passed it to the police force as Francis' employers.
Francis was buried in Pernes British Cemetery in Pas de Calais, and has a headstone in St Peter's in Endensor, Derbyshire.


Former Glamorgan player and coach John Derrick is recovering in hospital after suffering a stroke.

Derrick, 53, works for the Cricket Board of Wales as performance manager of all the Wales age group sides as well as the senior women's team.
He coached Glamorgan to two National League titles in 2002 and 2004.
Glamorgan have sent their best wishes to the former all-rounder, his wife Christine and his family for a full recovery.
Derrick played 206 matches across Championship and limited-overs games for Glamorgan between 1983 and 1991.
He was coach during a golden spell for Glamorgan in one-day cricket as they secured a double triumph in the limited-overs game, following a Division Two win in 2001.
He also oversaw promotion to Division One of the Championship in 2004, but lost the role in February 2007.
Derrick has continued to play club cricket for Aberdare while also working as a summariser for BBC Wales commentaries.


Struggling Sunderland manager David Moyes was sent to the stands as his side were knocked out of the EFL Cup in the fourth round by Southampton.

Southampton's record £16m signing Sofiane Boufal scored with a stunning strike into the top corner from the edge of the box to secure a place in the quarter-finals for the hosts.
Moyes was dismissed late on after referee Chris Kavanagh waved away Sunderland's appeals for a foul on Victor Anichebe in the penalty area.
The Scot's two competitive wins in charge of the Premier League's bottom club came in the previous rounds of the EFL Cup.
Southampton boss Claude Puel made nine changes to the side that drew with Manchester City on Sunday, including naming six academy graduates.
Boufal's winner, on his first start since his summer move from Lille, was a rare effort on goal in a disappointing match.
Sunderland's best chance fell to substitute Jermain Defoe, whose shot was saved by Alex McCarthy.
Defeat was the Black Cats' eighth in all competitions this season, while victory means Southampton will travel to Arsenal in the last eight.
Sunderland manager David Moyes:
"I was sent off for leaving my box and swearing at the fourth official.
"The problem was he chased me down the touchline. I swore at him and I shouldn't have done so I deserved to be sent off.
"When you see the penalty decision again it's a stonewaller, no question. Inside the box Maya Yoshida fouls Victor, he comes across him, and it should have been a definite penalty awarded."
Southampton boss Claude Puel:
"You can see Boufal's qualities, you can see he is a fantastic player.
"It was difficult for us against a strong team. I enjoyed the result, of course, for all my players, the experienced and the young ones."

Arctic sea ice has passed its minimum summer extent, say polar experts meeting in London.

The cover on 17 September dipped to 5.01 million sq km, and has risen slightly since then, suggesting the autumn re-freeze has now taken hold.
This year's minimum is fractionally smaller than last year (5.10 million sq km), making summer 2014 the sixth lowest in the modern satellite record.
The Antarctic, in contrast, continues its winter growth.
It is still a few weeks away from reaching its maximum, which will continue the record-setting trend of recent years.
Ice extent surrounding the White Continent has just topped 20 million sq km.
The marine cover at both poles is the subject of discussion at a major UK Royal Society conference taking place this week.
In the Arctic, Prof Julienne Stroeve from the US National Snow and Ice Data Center said conditions in the north had been relatively cool this summer.
"This was what we might now call a 'normal year'," she told BBC News.
Winds had blown ice towards the Canadian Arctic archipelago, piling up the floes.
This will have protected them from melting and from being exported out of the Arctic basin, explained the researcher, who is also affiliated to University College London.
Although, the last two summers had seen greater coverage than the record-setting low of 2012, she cautioned that the long-term trend was still clear: September Arctic sea ice is declining in extent by more than 10% per decade.
The eight lowest ice covers in the satellite record have now occurred in the past eight years.
Higher temperatures are seen as the cause; the Arctic has been one of the fastest warming regions on Earth.
Computer models are doing a better job at forecasting the losses but they still underestimate the changes that are occurring.
In the Antarctic, the research problem is a very different one.
This austral winter will be the third year in a row that sea-ice extent has reached a satellite-era maximum, and it is the first time that this record has jumped above 20 million sq km.
Traditionally, the greatest cover is not reached until early October, so there should be time for the south to accumulate even more marine cover.
But scientists are careful not to make equal and opposite comparisons for what is happening at the two poles.
The regions' geographies are quite different. The Arctic is in large part an ocean enclosed by land, whereas the Antarctic is a land mass totally surrounded by ocean.
What is more, the southern pole feels the influence of three great oceans - the Pacific, the Atlantic and the Indian.
Many of the ice behaviours and responses are peculiar as a consequence.
Dr Paul Holland works with the British Antarctic Survey (BAS): "Sea-ice extent in the Antarctic is going up by about one-fifth the speed that the Arctic is going down. And the volume of Antarctic sea ice is going up by about one-tenth the speed that Arctic volume is going down, and the volume is the more important number.
"My point is that the Antarctic is essentially flat; the increase in extent is to some degree a red herring.
"The more interesting question is why the Antarctic is not going down like the Arctic, and not enough people are asking that question."
Various ideas have been put forward to explain the differences, but "as to a single, underlying, silver-bullet cause - there just isn't one," he added.
His BAS colleague, Prof John Turner, highlighted the big up-turn in sea-ice growth around the Antarctic in only the past fortnight - the result of more storms in the region.
"Southerly winds have pushed the ice out to greater northerly latitudes, and that means the cold winds coming off the continent then freeze the open water left behind."
Principally, this is seen in the Ross Sea area of Antarctica.  Indeed, more than 80% of the growth trend is focussed on this one region.
Prof Turner said he thought the persistent behaviour of a low-pressure system known as the Amundsen Sea Low (ASL) was probably at the root of the observed Antarctic trend, but as to why that was the case - no-one could yet explain.

Ulster Unionist leader Mike Nesbitt has announced the party intends to leave the Northern Ireland Executive.

He said his recommendation was "unanimously" endorsed during a meeting with senior party members.
The party's ruling body will make a final decision on Saturday, and if supported, he said the party would then form an opposition.
Politicians and key figures have been reacting to the announcement.
"We are sympathetic to the Ulster Unionists.
"We are sympathetic to the concerns they've got in relation to the overall crisis, but we don't think this is the right way of dealing with it.
"There are ongoing investigations by the PSNI and the Garda (Irish police) and various government agencies, and until they are completed it would be premature to make a decision of this sort."
"The DUP has a choice to make. Are they going to be the only unionist party, for the sake of office, turning a blind eye to murder?
"Today is a step in the right direction and I look to others to follow and complete that exercise to rid of us of this failed administration."
"Alliance has consistently said since the Kevin McGuigan murder that calm was needed from all quarters to prevent Northern Ireland moving deeper into crisis.
"However, the UUP appears to have used it as an opportunity to move into opposition in the run-up to an assembly election.
"They cannot credibly argue they did not know the Provisional IRA did not cease to exist, showing today's decision is political opportunism rather than anything done out of principle."
"I would like to welcome the UUP to the opposition benches in the assembly, increasing the number of opposition MLAs.
"Questions need to be answered, not least whether or not the Provisional IRA remains active, which appears likely, and if it continues to engage in criminality.
"We also need to know if the Provisional IRA is still inextricably linked to Sinn FÃ©in.
"If it proves to be the case that a party of government is tied to a criminal organisation, this would be untenable."
"There can be no doubt that Northern Ireland's already fragile political institutions are once again hanging by a thread.
"We support the UK government's efforts to engage with all parties to find a way forward in the aftermath of the disturbing circumstances surrounding the murder of Kevin McGuigan.
"We urge the UK government to work with the Irish government and US administration to identify confidence-building measures which can support dialogue and prevent the collapse of the institutions."
"I firmly believe the interests and welfare of the people of Northern Ireland are best served by an inclusive power-sharing executive, as envisaged in the Good Friday Agreement.
"I remain in close touch with developments and my officials are actively monitoring the situation in Northern Ireland.
"I will meet with Secretary of State Villiers early next week to discuss the serious situation in Northern Ireland."
"In two or three weeks' time the assembly could be running on and the executive could run on and people will say it was a premature move that didn't work.
"Or it could trigger off one of the big parties - the DUP specifically - rethinking their position and saying there is merit in this and then the whole thing comes down.
"I think that's what is really worrying the secretary of state and a lot of people in Northern Ireland."


Ofcom is to delay the start of its auction for another chunk of 4G spectrum, after threats of legal action from Telefonica and Hutchison, parent companies of O2 and Three.

They want Ofcom to wait until a decision is made about their plan to merge the two mobile companies.
BT and EE are also planning to merge.
The spectrum, formerly used by the Ministry of Defence, would provide 4G services for mobile companies.
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has provisionally approved the proposed merger between BT and EE.
But the European Commission has announced its decision to launch an in-depth investigation into the proposed merger between O2 and Three.
And Ofcom has previously cast doubt on this merger winning regulatory approval.
In a statement on Thursday, Ofcom said it had received letters from Telefonica and Hutchison stating their intention to bring legal action against the regulator over its decision to begin the auction before the outcome of the European Commission's findings.
"After careful consideration, given these specific circumstances, we have decided for reasons of good public administration to delay commencing the auction process," it said.
Legal action also held up the previous 4G auction - as mobile companies disagreed about how spectrum should be distributed.
Ofcom had been due to start accepting applications for the spectrum this month, with plans for the auction to take place in February or March.
Now, it looks unlikely to begin before the summer - with the European Commission's judgement on the O2-Three merge expected in May.
The spectrum on offer could add capacity to 4G networks, but it is considerably smaller than the previous chunk of 4G spectrum.
It has a reserve price of Â£70m, compared with Â£1.3bn for the previous portion of the airwaves.
Matthew Howett, an analyst with research company Ovum, said: While Ofcom doesn't have spectacular form when it comes to awarding spectrum on time, in this instance it probably makes sense to delay things.
"Should the merger between Three and O2 be approved, then remedies around spectrum holdings will almost certainly take time to work out and any future spectrum award would need to be reconsidered accordingly.
"However, if the... merger is blocked, then the spectrum award can go ahead fairly quickly without change."
Mr Howett said the impact on consumers would be minimal.
"Despite demand for mobile data growing, all mobile operators are fairly well served by their current spectrum holdings and will be for the short to medium term, so while a delay is unfortunate, it shouldn't be too problematic," he said.


Police are continuing to search for a young mother after her children were dropped off at a friend's house.

Police had initially asked for help to trace Farrah Fadli, 29, McKenzie Scullion, 10, and Eva Kerr, 4.
They had been missing since about 11:00 on Wednesday, and officers were concerned for their welfare.
At about 19:15 on Friday Ms Fadli, who lives in Ayr and is also known as Farrah Gillespie, left the children with a friend in Irvine.
Ms Fadli remains missing. She is 5ft 4in, of slim build with dyed blonde hair.
Officers said she has not gone missing before.
A police spokesman said: "Farrah is still missing. She dropped off the children at a friend's house in Irvine around 7.15pm last night but left soon after.
"Police are continuing their search for Farrah and would appeal to either herself to get in touch with them or her family or for anyone who knows where she is to contact officers at Ayr Police Office via 101."


A social media campaign has taken off among China's lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) community which sees members pledging not to enter into sham marriages with straight people.

Since last week, a number of users on popular microblogging network Sina Weibo have been posting selfies of themselves with the hashtag #I'm gay and won't marry a straight person#.
Several parents of LGBT people have also posted pictures of themselves with signs declaring they would not pressure their children into marriage.
The campaign was started by LGBT rights group Pflag China.
Spokesman Zhou Ying told the BBC they had come up with the idea after noticing greater discussion in the media and online on gay rights and the issue of marriages in recent weeks.
Though homosexuality is not illegal in China, gay marriage is still not allowed.  On Wednesday a judge ruled a gay couple could not register their marriage in a landmark case.
Last week, a couple of articles in Chinese media - including this Tencent article  (in Chinese) - highlighted the plight of women known as "tongqi", who find themselves in sham marriages with gay men. That prompted much public sympathy for the women and criticism of the men, who were seen as cheats.
"This campaign is not meant as criticism of gay people who marry straight people," said Zhou Ying.
"We just want to encourage gay people to treasure themselves, to live the lives they want, to be who they truly are... and we want to push the message of equal rights."
Young people all over China face pressure to marry and start families early, but the problem is even more acute for gay men and lesbians, given conservative attitudes towards homosexuality.
One campaign participant, who wanted to be known as Peng Peng, said: "Many homosexuals because of various pressures get forced into marriages of convenience with straight people, or even real marriages.
"This sort of marriage situation is a form of disloyalty, for many gay people the great institution of marriage has really turned into love's graveyard."
Peng Peng said he had posted the photo of himself, adding, "I'm not willing to pretend for others, no matter how big the pressures are, I still want to be my true self, and so I use this campaign to take a stand."
Another participant, lesbian rights activist Han Haiming, posted a picture of herself at the age of 16 on Weibo, saying she had met her first girlfriend at that age.
She said: "If my parents forced me to marry a straight person, it would be akin to pushing me into a furnace."
"On this point, my family has still been very understanding," she added, saying she had come out to her parents long ago.
But others are not so lucky. She said she took part so that "we can let more people understand our sentiments, and give us the beginnings of respect".
"With many LGBTs taking part [in such campaigns], the strength of our masses could at least let others see us with new eyes, and more importantly perhaps we can get the attention of relevant government agencies, and help us win a victory in the future for gay marriage," she added.
Kenneth Cheung, founder of LGBT rights group Rainbow China, told the BBC that the issue of "tongqi" appeared to have arisen in China due to gay men giving in to social pressure when they reach an older age and marrying straight women.
"I feel that this is a tragedy, both for gay men and these women," he said.
He is urging more gay men to join the campaign as "firstly this would be a personal assertion - that we are gay men, not monsters. Also, it is a self-constraint, that even if society wishes to discriminate against us, we will not be willing to harm the innocent.
"I hope that when straight people see this, they would understand that the issue of LGBT rights closely affects them too, and thus garner more support for marriage equality."
But the campaign has also had its detractors from within the community.
A Weibo user called Brother Mitao felt that the slogan inadvertently acknowledged the attitude that "tongqi" are the only victims in sham marriages.
"A hastily taken stand," he said in a discussion on the hashtag. "Has it ended up proving the point of the news report that this alleged tongqi suffering is deeper [than the gay man's]?"
He also pointed out that the deeper problem stemmed from prevailing societal attitudes about fatherhood and the prioritisation of the family unit. "Not opposing [these attitudes], just holding up these placards about not marrying, isn't this strategy [setting the bar] very low?"
But another commenter replied: "It's true that this method could be inappropriate, but at least it's better than doing nothing. In the end it still has a positive meaning.
"The road to winning our rights is like feeling stones as you cross a river, if you don't bravely try, in this kind of environment, when can we realise our final goal?"


Fire officials are investigating the cause of a giant fire that destroyed an apartment building in New Jersey.

Edgewater Fire Chief Tom Jacobson said the fire started on the ground floor and quickly spread through the building on the Hudson River.
The city's mayor says about 500 residents have been displaced. Two residents and two firefighters suffered minor injuries.
The fire was still smouldering on Thursday morning.
Local media reported the fire begin at 17:00 local time (10:00 GMT) and continued to burn for hours.
Resident Hamza Abdul told the Bergen Record newspaper he was working when he got a call about the fire.
"I can't believe it," he said. "It's all ashes now."
The apartment building, across from the Manhattan skyline, also housed New York Yankees play-by-play announcer John Sterling.


Holyrood has voted to replace the tax paid by passengers on flights from Scotland's airports.

MSPs voted by 108 to 11 to replace Air Passenger Duty (APD) with a new devolved Air Departure Tax (ADT) in Scotland from April next year.
But the rate at which is the tax is set is likely to be more controversial when it is decided later this year.
The Scottish government wants to cut the new tax by 50%, before eventually scrapping it completely.
It argues the move will boost the economy by increasing the number of flights to and from the country.
Opponents are concerned about the environmental impact of more flights, and claim the cut would mainly benefit wealthy travellers and big business.
The Scottish Conservatives and Labour joined the SNP in voting to pass the Air Departure Tax Bill, with the Scottish Green and Liberal Democrats voting against.
The Greens subsequently warned that the party's six MSPs may not deal with ministers when it comes to budget talks next year unless there is rethink on plans to cut the current charges.
The minority SNP administration relied on votes from the Greens to pass its Budget for the current financial year.
But Green MSP Andy Wightman said his party could not support legislation with "such weak environmental, economic and social criteria".
The Greens published research over the weekend that suggested cutting APD was "predominantly a tax giveaway for Scotland's wealthiest households and corporations".
Labour said it had only backed the bill as it would not have been possible to levy any air departure tax at all if the legislation had not been passed.
But the party's transport spokesman, Neil Bibby, said Labour would strongly oppose any future plans to half the tax, which it said would take £189m out of the Scottish government's budget while mainly benefiting wealthier travellers.
The Liberal Democrats said cutting APD would be "reckless" and accused the Scottish government of pandering to the aviation industry at the expense of tackling climate change.
But the Scottish Conservatives have backed the abolition of air tax on long-haul flights, although they want to keep it for short-haul passengers.
The Scottish government says its plans to reduce the tax are a "fundamental component to improving Scotland's international connectivity and providing a real boost to our economy".
Finance Secretary Derek Mackay said: "Our airports are competing on a world stage to secure new routes and capacity.
"Reducing the tax burden helps ensure a more level playing field with many other European airports competing to secure the same airlines and similar routes.
"New routes will enhance business connectivity and tourism as well as providing new jobs."
The Scottish Parliament was given powers to charge tax on passengers leaving Scottish airports under the Scotland Act, which came into force last year.
APD currently raises about £300m in Scotland and £3bn across the UK every year.
The bands, rates and exemptions for the replacement tax are not covered in the bill and will be decided as part of the Scottish government's annual budget process, which will need the approval of a majority of MSPs.
A report commissioned by Edinburgh Airport said halving APD would create almost 4,000 jobs and add £1bn to the Scottish economy by 2020 - and argued that failing to act could see Scotland lose out on nearly a million passengers every year.


Marseille edged past Sochaux to set up a French Cup final against Ligue 1 champions Paris St-Germain.

On-loan Newcastle winger Florian Thauvin was the match-winner, finishing off a team move in the second half.
The club are currently struggling in 15th place in the French league, just six points above the relegation zone.
Laurent Blanc's PSG side can complete a league and cup double for a second consecutive season with victory in the final on Saturday, 21 May.


The stepmother of a member of Viola Beach, who were killed in a car crash, has said a year on from their deaths, it feels like they are "just on tour".

All four members of the band and their manager died in a car crash in Sweden on 13 February 2016.
Guitarist River Reeves' stepmother Sharon Dunne said she and the other families were still in "shock".
She was speaking as five buses bearing a picture of the band were launched in their home town of Warrington.
She said the four piece had been "so full of life" and their deaths "so unexpected that it is like they're just still on tour".
"It's just a really weird feeling - you can't explain it, because you just don't want it to be true, and [there is] always disbelief."
Reeves and his bandmates Jack Dakin, Kris Leonard and Tomas Lowe, were in a car driven by band manager Craig Tarry, which crashed into a raised section of a bridge and plummeted into a canal.
Tests showed no alcohol or drugs in the blood of Mr Tarry.
In December, a coroner has said he did not think it would "ever be known" what caused the crash.
Ben Dunne, the guitarist's father, said he had found strength from the support the families had received.
"When you meet parents who have lost children, there is an immediate connection, but having said that from the wider community, the music community, there's been so much empathy and love towards us," he said.
The Arriva buses, one of which has been converted into a mobile recording studio, have been produced in collaboration with the River Reeves Foundation, an organisation set up by Mr Dunne in memory of his son.
Mr Dunne said the foundation, set up to support young people in the performing arts, was founded to see "good to come to other people".


The US Congress will have a say on a nuclear deal with Iran, under a new agreement reached with the White House.

President Barack Obama withdrew his opposition to a bipartisan bill that was unanimously passed through the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
However, a Congressional No vote would not be binding and could be vetoed by Mr Obama.
An outline agreement on the future shape of Iran's nuclear programme was reached after marathon talks in April.
The US, Iran, and five other nations have set a deadline of 30 June to finalise a deal which would ease western sanctions in exchange for restrictions on Iran's nuclear programme.
Mr Obama agreed to sign the bill giving Congress the right to reject any forthcoming agreement with Iran.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani immediately attacked the move.
"What the US Senate, Congress and others say is not our problem... We are in talks with the major powers and not with the Congress."
Some Republicans have argued against the nuclear deal, saying Iran has received too many concessions.
They have always insisted they must have a say if any agreement means economic sanctions levied by Congress against Iran will be lifted.
The Israeli government, which has been fiercely critical of the deal with Iran, welcomed the agreement between Mr Obama and Congress.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters Mr Obama was not "particularly thrilled" with the outcome, but US media have pointed out that in the event of Congress rejecting a deal with Iran, Mr Obama would be able to use his presidential veto.
A two-thirds majority would then be needed for Congress to override the veto, which is viewed as unlikely.
The bill is now likely to clear both houses in the Republican-controlled Congress.
An earlier version of the bill had placed a 60-day halt to any plan by Mr Obama to lift sanctions on Iran.
But that review period has been reduced to 30 days.
Mr Obama will still be able to lift sanctions he himself imposed through executive action but he would be unable to ease those imposed by Congress.


UK forces are to train troops for a peacekeeping operation in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Around 20 soldiers based in Northern Ireland will be deployed to Malawi to lead the training operation ahead of the deployment of international troops to DR Congo.
Malawi Defence Forces are hoping to take control of parts of the country.
The UN has sanctioned operations to dislodge Rwandan rebels in the east.
The UK soldiers, from the Royal Scots Borderers 1st Batallion The Royal Regiment of Scotland and the Second Battalion the Rifles, will spend two months in Africa, the Ministry of Defence said.
The UN peacekeeping mission in DR Congo is one of the world's largest and most expensive. It includes uniformed staff from Malawi, South Africa and Tanzania.
Analysis: Jonathan Beale, BBC defence correspondent
This is a small deployment of troops to Malawi. But it's a reflection of what the British army will be doing more of.
There's little political appetite for large scale military interventions after Iraq and Afghanistan.
Small teams of British soldiers are also training in some of the world's most volatile countries including Nigeria, Somalia and most recently Iraq.
This "defence engagement" is increasingly part of the job description for the modern soldier; helping others to protect themselves rather than just doing it for them.
And most of it will happen in the region rather than the UK. Not least because of the Army's bitter experience of training Libyan recruits at Bassingbourn.
Maj Alasdair Hempenstall from the Royal Scots Borderers said: "We will be working in difficult terrain and to a tight schedule with a vast amount of operational expertise to pass over.
"The Malawian soldiers are well organised and highly trained and keen to play their role in bringing peace across the Democratic Republic of Congo."
Eastern DR Congo has seen guerrilla-style combat since 1994, when Rwanda's genocide spilled over the border.
The Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR) has been operating in DR Congo since then.
The FDLR failed to meet a 2 January deadline set by the UN to disarm.
Some of the group's commanders are wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes.


Britain won five medals and Katherine Grainger and Vicky Thornley qualified the women's double scull for the Rio Olympics on a stellar day at the World Rowing Championships in France.

The men's coxed pair and lightweight pair claimed gold on Lake Aiguebelette.
There were silvers for the women's four, lightweight single and quad to put Britain top of the medals table.
Grainger and Thornley will race in the double sculls final on Sunday after finishing third in their semi-final.
Theirs will be one of nine British boats in the 14 Olympic-class finals held over the weekend.
Scotland's Grainger won Olympic gold in the double sculls alongside Anna Watkins at London 2012, before taking a two-year sabbatical from the sport.
The 39-year-old returned last September and won European bronze with new partner Thornley in May.
