1.These explanatory notes relate to the London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (Amendment) Act 2011 which received Royal Assent on 14th December 2011. They have been prepared by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, the Home Office and the Department for Transport in order to assist the reader in understanding the Act. They do not form part of the Act and have not been endorsed by Parliament.
2.These notes need to be read in conjunction with the Act. They are not, and are not meant to be, a comprehensive description of the Act. So where a section or part of a section does not seem to require any explanation or comment, none is given.
