Senior Cabinet ministers, including the Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, William Hague and Theresa May have been allowed to use the Olympic lanes “on the advice of the security services”, according to the London Evening Standard.
Neither ministers or peers will be able to benefit from using the Olympic traffic lanes created to speed athletes and officials through London, the House of Lords was told.
Transport spokesman Earl Attlee warned that it would be "extremely unwise" for members of the Upper House to think they could use the Olympic lanes. He said they would be policed in the same way as bus lanes, adding: "So it's not something I would recommend."
Lord Attlee also assured Opposition spokesman Lord Davies of Oldham that ministers did not have "any privileges" with regard to use of the games lanes.
