Mr. Spring

To ask the Minister without Portfolio what meetings took place in the United Kingdom between representatives of the Disney Corporation and the New Millennium Experience Company during the course of 1997; when and where such meetings took place; which(a) Ministers, (b) officials and (c) representatives of the New Millennium Experience Company were present at the meetings; and what was discussed. [23933]

Mr. Mandelson

I have had one meeting in the UK with a senior executive from the Disney Corporation since taking up my appointment as shareholder of the New Millennium Experience in June 1997. No officials or representatives of the New Millennium Experience Company were present at the meeting.

A range of discussions, meetings and site visits between senior staff at NMEC and various Disney enterprises have taken place on matters of mutual interest.
