Proceeding contribution from Hugh Robertson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 28 April 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (Amendment) Bill.


London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (Amendment) Bill

There is no such measure in the Bill. I would need to take the advice of the drafting clerks, but my hon. Friend is putting before me a general problem that arises when there are large-scale sporting events. I am not sure, therefore, that it would not fall outside the scope of a Bill that is purely for the Olympics. All we could do with the Bill—and I am not even sure we could—would be to provide measures for the period of the Olympics and Paralympic games afterwards. What he raises sounds like a more general problem driven by sporting events at Wembley stadium and elsewhere. If the problem is worrying local residents—I presume he would not have raised the matter otherwise—it is for the local authority to take action.
