CONSTRUCTION OF TEMPORARY OLYMPIC ARENA

That this House notes with concern proposals by the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games to incur the added expense of constructing temporary arena for a number of events including badminton, shooting and equestrian sports; believes that such expenditure is unnecessary particularly when public finances are stretched; and calls on the Government, the Olympic Board and the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games to make best use of existing first class facilities in and around London.
