Written question asked by Lord Inglewood (Conservative), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Baroness Garden of Frognal (Liberal Democrat) on Wednesday, 16 February 2011.


Sport: Athletics

Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the possibility of UK Athletics moving from Crystal Palace Park to some of the Olympic stadia after the Olympic and Paralympic Games, thus enabling the park to be restored to its original appearance.
Answer

The National Sports Centre at Crystal Palace is owned by the London Development Agency. UK Athletics (whose headquarters and key performance centres are located elsewhere) use it for specific events. Given the accordingly very limited role of government in determining the future of the facility, we have made no such assessment.
