London Olympics

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport pursuant to his answer of 30 November 2005, Official Report, column 565W, on the London Olympics, how the Olympic transport plan will encourage 100 per cent. spectator use of public transport, walking and cycling.

Answer: The Department for Transport and London 2012 continues to aim for 100 per cent. spectator use of public transport, walking and cycling during the 2012 Olympics. Temporary parking restrictions will be operated in the vicinity of Olympic events, enforced through fines. It will not, therefore, be possible for most members of the public to travel to the games using private cars, although there will be a limited number of parking spaces for those with mobility requirements.
