Olympic Games 2010: Budgets

Question: To ask Her Majesty's Government what is each department's budgeted expenditure for the London Olympic Games in 2012.

Answer: The public sector funding provision for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games is £9.325 billion made up of contributions of £5.975 billion from the Government, £2.175 billion from the National Lottery and the £1.175 billion from the Greater London Authority and the London Development Agency. A number of other government programmes will be inspired by, or linked thematically to, the 2012 Games. Many of these will help to fulfil the five promises in the Government's legacy action plan for London 2012. Expenditure in these areas falls to be met from the budgets of the relevant departments.
