HC Deb 06 April 1998 vol 310 cc77-8W
Mr. Baker

To ask the Minister without Portfolio what representations he received from(a) the Deputy Prime Minister and (b) the Minister for the Environment after deciding to use HFCs to power the air conditioning system within the Millennium Dome. [37252]

Mr. Mandelson

[holding answer 1 April 1998]: 1 refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave him on 26 March 1998, Official Report, column 247. I have had no representations from my colleagues at the DETR, since the Deputy Prime Minister and I both accept that in the particular circumstances of this project the New Millennium Experience Company's preferred option, with stringent safeguards, is the best in the time available.
