§ Mr. Ottaway
To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions (1) what studies his Department has undertaken or evaluated to assess the impact of the Millennium Dome on the localities of(a) Bermondsey tube station and (b) London Bridge tube station, with particular reference to the Shad Thames development; [82428]
(2) what assessment he has made of the likely impact of the Millennium Dome on the localities of (a) Bermondsey tube station and (b) London Bridge tube station, with particular reference to the Shad Thames development. [82429]

§ Ms Glenda Jackson
When the Jubilee Line Extension is fully open, it is forecast that 114,590 and 17,102 people per day will use London Bridge and Bermondsey stations respectively. Of these, it is estimated that 2,232 passengers per day will use London Bridge station and 56 passengers per day will use Bermondsey station to travel to the Millennium Dome. Therefore, passengers travelling to and from the Dome will contribute about 2 per cent. of total usage at London Bridge and 0.3 per cent. at Bermondsey.

§ Mr. Ottaway
To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions (1) what studies his Department has carried out or evaluated to assess the impact of the Millennium Dome on the locality of North Greenwich tube station, with particular reference to parking for local businesses and residents; [82426]
(2) what assessment he has made of the likely impact of the Millennium Dome on the locality of North Greenwich tube station with particular reference to car-parking for local businesses and residents. [82427]

§ Ms Glenda Jackson
None. This is a matter for the London Borough of Greenwich, which is implementing the Greenwich Millennium Controlled Parking Zone, which includes specific provisions to accommodate the parking needs of both residents and businesses. Having carried out extensive public consultation on its CPZ proposals, Greenwich's conclusion is that the scheme provides facilities to meet the majority of local parking demands, whilst safeguarding the area from unrestricted and intrusive parking from commuters and visitors to the Millennium Experience and other developments on the Greenwich Peninsula.

§ Mr. Ottaway
To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if people who are not visiting the Millennium Dome will be able to drive to North Greenwich tube station to deliver or collect passengers. [82420]

§ Ms Glenda Jackson
In the interests of security and pedestrian/visitor safety London Transport is not proposing to open its "Kiss and Ride" facility at North Greenwich station until 2001.
