§ Mr. DorrellI am delighted with the Millennium Commission's progress to date. The commission issued detailed guidance for applicants in November. Applications for funding for capital projects, large and small are now being invited, and the commission is consulting with experts on a festival for the year 2000 and a bursary scheme. A national competition for ideas for the festival will be launched in the spring.
