To ask the Minister for the Olympics on what date in 2012 the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games's technology freeze will come into force; which technologies the freeze will be applied to; and which body is responsible for implementing the freeze. (223965)

The London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) is responsible for planning and implementing the core technology and information systems that will be needed to host the Games in 2012. LOCOG's current expectation is to implement a lock-down on core Games technology by the end of 2010 to allow for rigorous testing and integration across all mission critical designs, equipment and operational processes.
