§ Mr. GardinerTo ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport if all seats in the stadium at Wembley as proposed by Wembley Stadium Ltd. under the athletics mode accommodating 80,000 people meet the C60 minimum sightlines specification of the Green Guide and the Football Stadiums Advisory Design Council. [104330]
§ Kate Hoey[holding answer 10 January 2000]: Based on the ideal focal point at ground level on the outside edge of the running track, the independent report submitted by DLA Ellerbe Beckett confirms that the proposals put forward by Wembley National Stadium Ltd. to provide 164W 80,000 seats in athletics mode, would reduce the C value of the first eight rows of seating in the lower bowl, and some seats at the end of the stadium, to below C60.
