London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games Bill

I hear what the noble Lord says, and he is right to say that the words do not have any legal significance. However, I shall reiterate the point I seek to emphasise here. The common understanding of the London Olympics will be the sporting events to be held in London. The Thirtieth Olympiad is wider than that in concept, in geographical area and in function because of the cultural dimension as well as that of sport. We have included the words ““in particular”” because they help to convey the concept of the breadth of the Thirtieth Olympiad—of which, of course, we are proud.
