HC Deb 16 February 1999 vol 325 cc604-5W
Mr. Baker

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will place in the Library a copy of the contingency plans presented to his Department by London Underground last month for access to the Millennium Dome, in the event of the Jubilee Line extension not being open on time. [71419]

Ms Glenda Jackson

I have, through my Millennium Access Co-ordination Group, recently examined in detail London Underground's proposed contingency plans to manage problems on any of the main transport links to the Dome. We are now close to endorsing their proposals, but I have asked London Underground to undertake further work on certain aspects before they formally move to the next stage of mobilising the plans. A summary of the finalised plans will be placed in the Library as soon as this further work has been completed and the plans have been formally endorsed.
