HL Deb 20 October 2004 vol 665 c82WA
Lord Jopling

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answers by the Baroness Scotland of Asthal on 20 July (WA 33–34) to questions concerning security measures at the Olympic Games, whether it will be necessary to include specific answers to such questions in the bid for the Olympic Games in 2012; or whether they do not expect the International Olympic Committee to ask such questions or similar ones about the scale and cost of security provisions. [HL4397]

Baroness Scotland of Asthal

The bidding process for hosting an Olympic Games requires each candidate to set out the structural arrangements that will be put in place to ensure that security and other preparations are comprehensive. The process does not require candidates to answer detailed security questions or submit details of all aspects of security planning.
