HC Deb 20 March 2000 vol 346 c421W
Mr. Faber

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport if it is the policy of his Department that any stadium selected as a London bid venue for the 2005 World Athletics Championships should be capable of being upgraded to 80,000 seats in the event of a successful London Olympic bid. [115227]

Kate Hoey

We are looking at a number of options to ensure that we develop a venue capable of staging major domestic and international athletics events, which creates a permanent legacy for future generations of UK athletes and will not rule out a future Olympic bid.
