London Olympics Bill
Public Bill Committees, 18 October 2005, 6:00 pm
Richard Caborn (Minister of State (Sport), Department for Culture, Media & Sport; Sheffield Central, Labour)
I beg to move amendment No. 95, in clause 38, page 25, line 28, leave out ‘and 33.’ and insert ‘to 34.’.
Jimmy Hood (Lanark & Hamilton East, Labour)
With this it will be convenient to discuss Government amendment No. 96.
Richard Caborn (Minister of State (Sport), Department for Culture, Media & Sport; Sheffield Central, Labour)
Clause 38 amends the Regional Development Agencies Act 1998 so that RDAs are given the additional purpose of preparing for the London Olympics. The 1998 Act applies only to England and Wales. The amendments offer absolute clarity that none of the amendments to the Act will extend beyond England and Wales either. They do not need to, since the Olympic construction project will take place in England, primarily in London.
Amendments made: No. 96, in clause 38, page 25, line 33, after ‘(1)’, insert ‘(except section 34)’.
No. 52, in clause 38, page 25, line 36, leave out subsection (4).
No. 98, in clause 38, page 26, line 4, at end insert—
‘(6)Section 29 shall apply in respect of anything done whether in the United Kingdom or elsewhere.’.—[Mr. Caborn.]
