Proceeding contribution from Lord Glentoran (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 15 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, too, support the amendment, and I shall not be long-winded. I declare another interest, which came about only today. I have accepted the chairmanship of the Paralympic World Cup, which is an ongoing organisation started by Alan Pascoe, but there could be certain conflicts here. I also want to thank the Minister for the letters—one particularly fulsome one—which he wrote to me following the last sitting of this Committee. I support the amendment and have little to add to the advocacy of the two noble Lords who spoke before me. I feel that, once the ruling is in place, LOGOC will have the ability to call to ransom any small business—hotel, swimming pool and so on—which inadvertently uses a combination of the words and symbols which have been forbidden. I strongly feel, as I have done throughout since first reading the Bill, that this phrase should be reversed, as the amendment attempts to do.
