HC Deb 16 May 1991 vol 191 c221W
Mr. Pendry

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many meetings he has held with the organisers of the British Olympic bid since the British Olympic Association's announcement of Manchester's winning bid; what further plans he has to meet the organisers; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Atkins

As my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister said in his answer on 1 May to the right hon. Member for Manchester, Wythenshawe (Mr. Morris), I am ready to discuss how best the Government can help to promote the bid. I have already spoken to Robert Scott, the chairman of the Manchester Olympic bid. Arrangements have been made for me to meet both Mr. Scott and the BOA.
