There are a whole range of issues, not least the ones we discussed earlier this evening, around who the major sponsors are. The sponsorship arrangements of the Games are decided by the top sponsors, who are accepted by the IOC as top sponsors around the world, and we cannot impact those top sponsors. If we, as the Government of the day, decided that we did not like those top sponsors, they would say, “Fine, thank you very much indeed, there are plenty of other cities bidding to host the Games”.
