London Olympics Bill

Proceeding contribution from Pete Wishart (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 6 December 2005. It occurred during Debate on bills on London Olympics Bill 2005-06.

The chances of the London Olympic games coming in on budget are about the same as Scotland’s chances of winning the World cup. There will be an overspend, and I share the hon. Gentleman’s concerns about how it will be met. Will the Minister assure us that it will not come from the lottery? With £1.5 billion coming out of the lottery in the next 10 years, it will have suffered enough.
