London Olympics

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what assessment he has made of whether adequate planning has been made to ensure that transport for the 2012 Olympics will be fully sustainable.

Answer: London 2012 will be a sustainable Games—with this in mind, the Olympic Transport Plan will encourage 100 per cent. spectator use of public transport, walking and cycling. The successful Olympic bid was founded on existing and planned transport infrastructure in 2012, minimising the need for additional Olympic specific schemes and services. Wherever possible, vehicles producing low (or no) emissions will be used for both spectator and Olympic family transport.
