London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games Bill

I am grateful for that. I am not sure whether the Minister dealt with public consultation but perhaps I need to read the Official Report on that. I hope that it will not sound excessively pompous—although certainly it will sound a bit pompous—to say that my point this afternoon is not to champion the role of the London Assembly, but to point out that the Assembly has a lot to contribute in this area. I hope that use can be made of that contribution. I wrote down that the Minister said that the Assembly can fully expect to be consulted. It is ironic that I might seek to rely on a direction to that effect, but if I can tempt him any further, let me do so. The Minister is obviously not going to be tempted, but I am reassured to quite an extent by his assurance, which we now have on the record. I thank him for that. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendments Nos. 48 to 50 not moved.]
