Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Eric Forth (Conservative). It was answered on Monday, 21 November 2005 on behalf of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.
Olympic Games
- Question
- If benefits will accrue to Gateshead and Washington in the way that the Secretary of State claims, can she assure me that the good people of that area will share equally in the cost with the benighted people of London?
- Answer
-
The right hon. Gentleman would benefit from reading the brief on the funding of the Olympics. Yes, the residents of Gateshead and Washington will contribute to the costs through the lottery. Because the greatest benefit will, beyond doubt, fall to London, it, in common with every other host city, will contribute through a levy on the council tax payer.
