HC Deb 26 January 2004 vol 417 c61W
Mr. Wyatt

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will ensure that(a) the British Council and (b) the BBC World Service are included in the diplomatic initiatives to win the 2012 Olympics for London. [150789]

Mr. Mullin

The International Olympic Committee rules of conduct forbid international promotion of the bid until 15 November.

Officials will be working with the British Council over the coming months to consider ways in which we can work together to support the bid once promotion is allowed.

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office has no editorial control over the BBC World Service.
