Olympic Games 2012: Temporary Venues

Volume 714: debated on Monday 9 November 2009

Question

Asked by

To ask Her Majesty's Government further to the Written Answer by Lord Davies of Oldham on 15 July (WA 235) concerning temporary venues for the 2012 Olympic Games, whether the KPMG report was based on estimated, rather than final, figures; and, if so, why part of the report was redacted. [HL6151]

The KPMG report was based on estimated figures to assess whether alternative venues were more cost-effective.

These estimates were commercially sensitive and redacted so as not to prejudice the Olympic Delivery Authority's and the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games' discussions and negotiations on contracts that had not yet been awarded for the temporary venues.
