Lord Astor of Hever

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What assessment they have made of the future funding requirements of the Dome. [HL2673]

Lord McIntosh of Haringey

On 22 May the Millennium Commission approved an additional grant of £29 million to the New Millennium Experience Company. The decision was taken following a review of NMEC's revised budget and business plan, which was commissioned in the light of lower than previously forecast visitor numbers. The Government and the Millennium Commission will continue to monitor NMEC's budget and business plans.
