LONDON OLYMPIC BID

Early day motion 75, tabled 26 November 2003 by David Davis (Conservative). Signed by 61 members.

That this House fully supports the London bid for the Olympic Games in 2012; believes that an Olympic Games in London would realise significant benefits for sport, health, transport, tourism, jobs and regeneration not just for London but for the nation as a whole; recognises that other cities, including Paris and New York, are also likely to produce strong bids; welcomes the cross-party support that the bid has so far benefited from; and calls on Her Majesty's Government to offer greater support to the bid so that London is successful in 2005.

Signatures by party: Conservative 50, Liberal Democrat 7, UUP 2, Independent Conservative 1, Labour 1.
