§ Lord Lukeasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will publish the response they receive from the chairman of the New Millennium Experience Company to their request for a written account of the circumstances surrounding the replacement by Pierre-Yves Gerbeau. [HL1076]
§ Lord Falconer of ThorotonThe Government have not requested such an account from the chairman of the New Millennium Experience Company (NMEC).
