The Olympic Delivery Authority has declined to respond to claims that there will be a 拢2bn shortfall for the 2012 Games.
ODA chief executive David Higgins last week hinted to The Observer that the Olympic site would need substantial investment in infrastructure to deliver a legacy of 35,000 homes after the Games.
He said Milton Keynes' 15,000 homes had required 拢1.5bn of investment, leading The Observer to conclude that the Olympics would need more than 拢3bn. So far, only 拢1bn has been earmarked.
But an ODA spokesperson said it was not possible to comment until Higgins' review of all projects had been completed. He added: "David didn't give that number in the interview."
