HC Deb 03 April 1985 vol 76 c657W
56. Mr. Denis Howell

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what recent discussions he has held with the British Olympic Association about a bid to hold a future Olympic Games in the United Kingdom; and what financial commitment will be made by the Government in support of any such bid.

Mr. Macfarlane

I asked officers of the British Olympic Association for their assessment of the likelihood of staging the games in this country between now and the end of the century. I have made no offer of financial resources.
