HC Deb 17 May 1993 vol 225 cc49-50W
17. Mr. Clifton-Brown

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what plans the Cardiff Bay development corporation has to employ extra staff in relation to the Cardiff bay barrage project during and after construction.

Mr. David Hunt

Cardiff Bay development corporation has no plans to employ extra staff in relation to the Cardiff bay barrage during its construction stage. It is, however, appointing project management consultants to oversee the construction contract. After construction it is estimated that the operation of the barrage and management of the inland bay will require an additional 18 public sector staff, as set out in the explanatory and financial memorandum to the Cardiff Bay Barrage Bill.
