HC Deb 21 June 2000 vol 352 cc233-4W
Mr. Peter Ainsworth

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport (1) if he will publish, on a case by case basis, the amounts disbursed to date by the New Millennium Experience Company in relation to litigation; [126464]

  1. (2) what contingency exists in the budget of the New Millennium Experience Company to meet the cost of litigation; [126462]
  2. (3) what assessment he made of the value of the New Millennium Experience Company's current and contingent liabilities in relation to litigation. [126463]
Mr. Chris Smith

[holding answer 19 June 2000]The New Millennium Experience Company considers that publication of details of issues relating to litigation runs the risk of adversely impacting on its relationships with those organisations and companies it has entered into contract with and, therefore, on its ability to operate in an effective and commercial manner.
