HC Deb 05 June 2000 vol 351 c92W
Mr. Peter Ainsworth

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport if he will list the sponsors of corporate hospitality events at the Dome. [119309]

Janet Anderson

[holding answer 17 April 2000]: In the year to date, the official sponsors of the Millennium Experience account for the majority of bookings (47 per cent.) for corporate hospitality events. The bulk of the remaining bookings (30 per cent.) are made through NMEC's corporate hospitality partners: Business Pursuits; Cavendish Hospitably; Langston Scott Limited; Letheby & Christopher and Mark Butler Associates. A smaller number of one-off bookings (23 per cent.) from within NMEC and from charities and other third parties, such as the TUC, account for the remainder of the total. A significant number of this latter category of clients requested that details of their bookings remained private.

Mr. Redwood

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport if he will publish the minutes of the meeting of the Millennium Commission at which it was decided to grant an additional £29 million to the Millennium Dome. [124480]

Mr. Chris Smith

This is a matter for the Millennium Commission. I will write to the right hon. Member in my capacity as Chairman of the Commission, and place copies of my reply in the Libraries of the House.
