Proceeding contribution from Lord Khan of Tooting (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 21 July 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on London Olympics Bill.
London Olympics Bill
I am slightly concerned about the magnanimity shown by my right hon. Friend. The hon. Member for Twickenham (Dr. Cable), who is not in the Chamber today, is the shadow Chancellor for his party. He said:"““London badly needs better transport and more police. It does not need the Olympics.””" He also objected to people in Twickenham paying for facilities in the east end of London, some of which will be used for only 18 days and then demolished. Does my right hon. Friend agree that we do not mind everyone jumping on the bandwagon as long as they can eat some humble pie?
