Written Question
Olympic Games 2012: Assets
Tuesday 14th July 2026

Asked by: Uma Kumaran (Labour - Stratford and Bow)

Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, pursuant to Question 11894, whether (a) her Department has a strategy for the maintenance of legacy assets, and (b) whether she would make an assessment of the need for a long-term strategy for a fair funding model to ensure the maintenance of the legacy assets of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, including the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport)

Responsibilities for legacy assets from the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games have all transferred to their long-term owners and are no longer the responsibility of the UK Government. This includes Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, which is managed by the London Legacy Development Corporation, a Mayoral Development Corporation of the Mayor of London.
