Written question asked by Lord Lucas (Conservative), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Davies of Oldham (Labour) on Thursday, 2 April 2009.
Olympic Games 2012
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will ask the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games to reconsider its decision in favour of siting the shooting at Woolwich.
- Answer
-
The Olympic Board confirmed on 19 March that the Royal Artillery Barracks in Woolwich will host the shooting events in 2012 as it represents the most suitable and cost-effective venue. The board also agreed that further feasibility should be undertaken at Barking Reach, but only as a contingent fallback option. The Olympic Board’s decision on the shooting venue is final and on this basis I will not be asking the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games to reconsider its position or the board’s decision.
