Boris Johnson happy to publish details of West Ham's Olympic Stadium move

Boris Johnson says he would be "perfectly happy" for the financial details of West Ham's move to the Olympic Stadium to be made public.

The London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) - set up to ensure the long-term success of the London 2012 site - and West Ham have insisted the deal involving the largely taxpayer-funded stadium should remain private for reasons of commercial confidentiality.

But the Information Commissioner has ruled the details of the deal should be disclosed and Mayor of London Johnson says he has no problems with that decision.

"I would be perfectly happy to publish the details of the arrangement," Johnson said at the London Assembly Mayor's Question Time on Wednesday.

"I understand the football club concerned is not so keen because they think it will give other clubs an inside into their finances and so forth."
