The motion
That this House notes that following the de facto nationalisation of the construction of the Olympic village, public investment in the project is now standing at £650 million; further notes the enormous levels of overcrowding and long council housing waiting lists in the host boroughs of Newham and Tower Hamlets; and believes that all 2,800 flats that will result from this public investment in the Olympic village, once the Olympics has finished, should be entirely reserved for letting as council housing.
