London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games Bill

We certainly want a guarantee. The Committee will recall that on the previous occasion the noble Lord, Lord Bradshaw, was concerned about the transport arrangements for coming into London while the games are taking place and their intrusion into existing transport arrangements. Of course the games will impact upon rail services, but this will be taken into account. The games will certainly impact upon the railways in two dramatic instances, which I hope will be supported by the whole Committee. Railway stations will need to improve their cleanliness on sites adjoining the games and there is also the matter of security, of which we in London have all become conscious in recent weeks. I have no doubt that those matters will impact on railway stations that adjoin, and are to be used by those travelling to, the games.
