Mr. Spellar

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what actions he is taking to ensure that British firms secure construction work for the Sydney olympics. [10029]

Mr. Oppenheim

My Department has established the Sydney olympics UK business task force to identify and disseminate business opportunities arising from the preparations for the Sydney games. Working with the UK and Australian public and private sectors, it is the job of the task force to ensure that UK industry is well positioned to win contracts in a range of areas, including construction.
