PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
OLYMPIC BID (18 May 2003)
Motion Details
That this House believes that the bid to hold the Olympic Games in London must not be detrimental to regional policy and that scarce resources must not be diverted from poorer regions in order to promote the bid which, if successful, will require massive investment in infrastructure to support the games and periphery activities which will exacerbate regional disparities and add further heat to an already overheated South Eastern economy; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to fully consider the effect of this decision on policies to produce a fairer distribution of power and resources throughout the UK.
