HC Deb 11 February 1999 vol 325 c299W
Mr. Vaz

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how many(a) black and (b) Asian people serve on the Food Advisory Committee of the Dome. [68182]

Janet Anderson

The New Millennium Experience Company (NMEC) does not have a Food Advisory Committee. However, it has set up a consultative Catering Review Group. The membership comprises senior representatives of industry-wide bodies including British Hospitality; the Restauranters' Association of Great Britain; Hospitality Training Foundation; and Catering International Management Association. Members serve in an unpaid, advisory capacity. Their input is sought on the basis of their experience and, in case of industry bodies, their representation of all members' interest. None of those industry bodies have so far put forward a black or Asian representative.
