Proceeding contribution from Richard Caborn (Labour) 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

We have all been reading from scripts on the final group of amendments and have been extremely well briefed by forces outside this House. I understand the concerns of some of our dear colleagues in media and advertising—although their points are highly technical, they are important. We have framed the Bill to protect LOCOG and the Olympics, to make sure that the Olympics are not exploited by rogue elements and to maintain the freedom of the press. The hon. Member for Faversham and Mid-Kent (Hugh Robertson) knows that a dialogue is continuing with those in media and advertising. I cannot add much to what I have said already. [Hon. Members: ““Hear, hear.””] Some hon. Members want to leave the House sooner rather than later. I will write to hon. Members to clear up those points, which will allow them to write to those who sent them the brief, to whom I will also respond.
