To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how much of the construction area of the Olympic Stadium has been investigated for contamination; what was discovered in each area which has been examined; and what techniques for remediation will be applied by the London Development Agency.
Tessa Jowell (Secretary of State, Department for Culture, Media & Sport; Dulwich & West Norwood, Labour)
Remediation work on the Olympic Park site is ongoing and an expert team has now investigated the majority of the land that is currently available. The expert team has indicated that the levels of contamination assessed to date are in line with expectations. Site investigations will continue across the remainder of the Olympic Park site before the full remediation work starts in 2007. Remediation techniques will be assessed in line with the site investigations.
