Proceeding contribution from Lord Dixon-Smith (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 31 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games Bill.

London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games Bill

It is unbelievable that a planning application for the major arena, the great central stadium which will be the core of the whole operation, could arrive at the planning application stage without every member of the Olympic Delivery Authority being involved in discussions on its designs, specifications and so on. If we include this question of involvement, the planning authority will have disqualified itself. I do not see how a decision on that scale can be made without the involvement of everyone in the ODA in deciding the details. Then we no longer have a planning authority to deal with, and we have a major dilemma. Perhaps I am daydreaming, but I am intensely puzzled.
