Proceeding contribution from Lord Glentoran (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 2 February 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
I want to reinforce a couple of points. I agree with the line that I believe the Minister is taking. The Freedom of Information Act is an extremely serious situation for LOGOC. I am sure that LOGOC will be tied closely into commercial confidentiality problems and situations. It will need to have the total confidence of major multinational and international corporations and maybe even overseas corporations and foreign bodies. Considerable help will be needed to extract the sponsorship and funding necessary—I believe it is £750 million. I hesitate to use the word ““protection””, but it is the word on my lips. Knowing something of this game, to do what LOGOC has to do, it will have to win the confidence of such people, and it will have to look to government and demonstrate very competently and adequately to would-be players its confidentiality and its ability to keep the business affairs of those companies private.
