The London Assembly is to carry out a wide-ranging review of the work of the new Olympic Park Legacy Company (OPLC), according to the insidethegames web site.
It says the Assembly's Economic Development, Culture, Sport and Tourism (EDCST) Committee is setting out to "gain a clearer understanding of how, when and by whom decisions will be made, and who stands to gain from the sale of the land after the Games".
Dee Doocey, the chair of the Committee, that answers will be sought to a number of questions.
"What will the Olympic Stadium be used for once the Games are over? Will the Olympics media centre attract the anticipated 7,000 jobs for East London?
"Londoners need reassurance that the 2012 venues will be used well into the future and not become a wasteland of empty buildings. The Millennium Dome struggled for years to find a long-term use - we need to ensure the same mistakes are not repeated."
While it's important that the vehicle's work is reviewed, one has to hope that the London Assembly Committee can put its political opinions to one side to provide an objective and helpful summary.
On past evidence I'm not entirely confident they can!
