Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Corbyn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 21 July 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on London Olympics Bill.

London Olympics Bill

My point is about regeneration and the protection of existing communities. In the boroughs surrounding Stratford and the other sites, there are many very poor people. There are also many artistic communities that have limited and low cost facilities. Will the Secretary of State ensure that the games do not end up with a succession of yuppie flats and developments, and that the beautiful people and the rich do not move in after the games and take over the whole area, but that it will be of real benefit to the poor and needy of north and east London, who should not suffer because of the games, but should benefit from them?
