London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games Bill

I wondered whether the Minister would respond to that. It is not my understanding of the situation although there will be GLA expenditure on Olympics-related matters and no doubt expenditure on the part of the police and the fire authorities. However, that is not the subject of this debate. I sat back to let the noble Lord intervene as my Amendment No. 21 is the first in this rather disparate group of amendments so it is the only one that is withdrawable, if I can put it that way. Amendment No. 21 addresses whether the Mayor has a role in a decision to—in the wording of Clause 4(2)(b)—"““dispose of land for a consideration less than that which might be expected in a commercial transaction at arms-length””." I hear what the Minister says about the Mayor’s position on the Olympic board giving him an opportunity in that regard and I acknowledge that that is a forceful point. It does not wholly answers my concerns but I am glad that the Minister understood the point I made—that the Secretary of State and the Mayor should be involved in these matters. If I may say so, the Minister made a very good case on my behalf when he described the contribution of London council tax payers. However, I do not think that I can tempt him further on that. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendment No. 22 not moved.]
