Proceeding contribution from Baroness Brown of Silvertown (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 September 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (Amendment) Bill.


London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (Amendment) Bill

Let me assure the Minister that there is cross-party support for the points made by the hon. Members for Orpington (Joseph Johnson) and for Croydon Central (Gavin Barwell). I know that the Newham Recorder will be watching Christine Ohuruogu with interest as she races towards the tape in the final for her gold. It would be a great pity if the local press were not allowed to be there to cover such an event. As local newspapers, they frankly do not have the capacity to attend every event and would have to be clear and specific about the events that they could give time to.
