Olympic security to cost £600m
The cost of security for the London 2012 Olympics will not go over £600million, according to the Government.
Although full security plans will be kept secret, Home Secretary Jacqui Smith revealed the policing costs would not be exceeded and added the Government was unlikely to tap into a £238m contingency fund.
She said: "This £600m, together with a contingency of £238m on which there are currently no plans to draw, and the security budget of the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) are parts of the overall Olympic public sector funding package of £9.325bn."
