Lord Berkeley (Labour)

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether suppliers to the Olympic Delivery Authority comply with its Guidelines on Sustainable Transport if their means of delivery contributes significantly to a breach of environmental legislation or European Union limit values for ambient air quality, such as for particulate matter along the A12.

Lord Davies of Oldham (Deputy Chief Whip (House of Lords), HM Household; Labour)

The ODA's code of construction practice requires that all commercial road vehicles and construction plant comply with any legislative requirements, including the London-wide emissions zone and the European emissions standards. This requirement is set out to all contractors operating on the site and audits are undertaken by the ODA's delivery partner across the Olympic Park.

The ODA is committed to reducing the number of lorry movements to the site. To date the ODA has moved 58 per cent of the construction materials to the Olympic Park site, by weight, by rail and water. The ODA's target of recycling or reusing over 90 per cent of demolition material is being exceeded, thereby reducing the need to import and export material from the site.
