Olympic Games
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the success of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver in relation to their preparations for the Olympic and Paralympic Games in London in 2012.
- Answer
-
My Lords, I am sure that the House will wish to join me in congratulating Amy Williams on her gold medal, and Vancouver on its organisation of an excellent event. Attending the Games was an invaluable opportunity for Ministers and officials to study Vancouver’s experience in staging an Olympic Games and, shortly, a Paralympic Games, to learn lessons for London 2012. In particular, Ministers and officials considered issues related to the Games’ operations, security, human trafficking and legacy.
