§ Baroness Gardner of Parkesasked Her Majesty's Government:

232WA
§ The Minister of State, Department of the Environment (Lord Bellwin)We received proposals from a number of authorities in England, Scotland and Wales concerning a total of 19 sites. We have decided to proceed with a detailed study of three of them: Gateshead (Norwood-Redheugh), Glasgow (Princes Dock) and Swansea (Lower Swansea Valley). The study, which will be completed in the summer, will provide information on a consistent basis on aspects such as costs, design possibilities and likely income. The timing will enable the early results from the Liverpool festival to be assimilated before a final decision is made.
