HL Deb 10 March 1998 vol 587 c33WA
Lord Patten

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What part rural village life will play in the exhibits contained within the Millennium Dome; and [HL689]

Whether the Millennium Dome will celebrate the countryside and the role of country people. [HL690]

Lord McIntosh of Haringey

The Millennium Experience (both the Dome at Greenwich and the associated country-wide Challenge programme of events and activities) will reflect in its content, the overarching theme "Time to Make a Difference". The exhibits and activities in the Dome and the Challenge programme will reflect the lives and aspirations of people across the United Kingdom, and will aim to educate, inspire, involve and entertain everyone who visits and takes part, whether they come from rural or urban communities.
