Proceeding contribution from Claire Curtis-Thomas (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 23 October 2007. It occurred during Debate on Public Accounts.


Public Accounts

I am sure that my hon. Friend will want to take this opportunity to congratulate the Olympic Delivery Authority on bringing in the first construction contracts on time and under budget. Those contracts are managed by a capable engineer: Howard Shiplee. Will my hon. Friend also commend our Government on introducing project bank accounts and project insurance in an attempt to control any overspend outside the control of the ODA, and to ensure that the construction companies involved get paid and we look after small and medium-sized enterprises as a result?
