Proceeding contribution from Hugh Robertson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 6 December 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on London Olympics Bill 2005-06.

London Olympics Bill

The hon. Gentleman is right, but it is difficult for me to give him an answer. Every time we have asked the question, the Minister has said—as I expect him to say in 20 minutes’ time; indeed, he told me that he would do so—that the budget for the games was drawn up according to the most advanced formula ever and that there would be no cost overruns. If that is the case, let us flip the argument over—why should there not be a cap?
