I thought for a moment that the hon. Gentleman was going to ask me to explain where Wellingborough was; if he had, I should have been highly embarrassed. I am delighted that he did not.
A large number of organisations will play a part in ensuring that we deliver the best-ever Olympic and Paralympic games in 2012. The RDAs will have a crucial role, as will the ODA, LOCOG and many other organisations. The amendment is trying to tease from the Minister not which organisations should be involved, but whether we have got right the relationship between them. Although I am deeply concerned about the ODA’s apparent iron grip on the RDAs, if there is to be an iron grip, should not it be the responsibility of LOCOG? I look forward to the Minister’s response and hope that he will be able to tell the hon. Gentleman where Wellingborough is.
