§ Mrs. Curtis-ThomasTo ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what plans he has for exhibits in the Millennium Dome which promote public understanding of British engineering. [77856]
§ Janet Anderson[holding answer 25 March 1999]The Millennium Dome itself, and the individual exhibits within it, are striking examples of the capabilities and imagination of British designers, architects and engineers. Some elements of the exhibits will also address and reflect issues within the engineering field. In addition, the New Millennium Experience Company (NMEC) is working with the Design Council to accommodate a number of its innovative Millennium Products within the Dome. Aspects of the NMEC's school curriculum resource packs (which are issued to every school in the UK) deal with a range of construction and engineering issues involved in the building of the Dome.
