Baroness Blatch

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by the Lord Falconer of Thoroton of 8 June (WA 176) whether, in view of his responsibility for appointing board members of the New Millennium Experience Company (NMEC), he will publish in the Official Report any correspondence between himself and the outgoing and incoming chairman of NMEC, Mr Bob Ayling and Mr David Quarmby. [HL2875]

The Minister of State, Cabinet Office (Lord Falconer of Thoroton)

While I am responsible for appointing individual members to the board of the New Millennium Experience Company (NMEC), the decision to appoint the chairman rests with the board itself. There is no correspondence between myself and Bob Ayling on the Board's decision to select David Quarmby, nor have I had any other correspondence with David Quarmby on this subject.
