HC Deb 09 May 1986 vol 97 c302W
Mr. Tony Banks

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment, pursuant to his reply of 1 May, Official Report, column 487, what has been the total estimated cost of support given by Her Majesty's Government in each year to the London Marathor Board.

Mr. Tracey

The Department of the Environment has charged no facility fee for the use of the Royal Parks for part of the London marathon, although it requires the London Marathon Board to reimburse the net costs of additional works and facilities provided in the parks specifically for the marathon.
