Mr. Mandelson

[holding answer 29 October 1998]: The New Millennium Experience Company (NMEC) will announce the price range for tickets to the Millennium Experience at Greenwich in due course. The NMEC will ensure that prices are set at a level which will encourage as many people as possible from across the UK and abroad who wish to visit the Millennium Experience to do so. The prices will offer good value for money compared to other major attractions; whilst maximising income for the Company. There will be discounted rates for children, students, families, senior citizens and groups.

Mr. Peter Ainsworth

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will list(a) those companies, organisations and individuals which have so far committed sponsorship to the Millennium Exhibition at Greenwich, (b) the projects or zones to which their sponsorship is committed and (c) the amount of sponsorship still to be committed to each zone.

Mr. Mandelson

[holding answer 29 October 1998]: I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave my hon. Friend the Member for Great Grimsby (Mr. Mitchell) on 27 October 1998, Official Report, columns 129–30.

Mr. McWalter

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will ensure that the Millennium Dome incorporates an area devoted to the contribution to philosophy and politics made by John Locke. [57768]

Mr. Mandelson

The New Millennium Experience Company (NMEC) aims to reflect the great wealth of British tradition which exists across many disciplines including philosophy and politics. However, it is not feasible for the contribution of every eminent individual in these fields to be reflected.
