Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell has told MPs the budget for the 2012 London Olympics has risen to £9.35bn.
She said £5.3bn would be spent on construction, compared with the initial £2.4bn budget, while a "contingency fund" would add another £2.7bn.
She also said a further £675m would be taken from the National Lottery funds - bringing its contribution to £2.2bn.

This is silly amounts of money!!! I was always under the impression that lottery grants were supposed to be to charities
How many average people will be able to afford to go to any of the olympic events
