    • Question by: Damian Hockney
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    Sir Roy, how much of the £500 million construction contingency has so far been earmarked to be spent? There has been a lot of talk about this and a lot of rumours in the industry.

    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    My only point really on this is that it is in that area where costs can so easily run away. In the industry, there are rumours; you speak to any of the major contractors or the journalists in the area, and they will tell you that £350 million of the £500 million has so far been earmarked, and that insiders within the ODA have told them this.

    So if that £500 million contingency can last up to the end of next year, then how much more of the overall contingency budget that the Government has aside, which has been the cause of so much controversy, do you think you will need?

    So there will be a tenant, somebody who will use that facility afterwards?

  • Legacy (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Peter Hulme Cross
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    What about the International Broadcast Centre and the Media and Press Centre? You are going to build a huge facility there. What happens when the circus has moved on, what are you going to do with it?
