Lord Falconer of Thoroton

I did not meet any member of the New Millennium Experience Company (NMEC) Board on 22 May. During the course of 23 May I met those members of the Board who attended the Board meeting: Robert Ayling; P-Y Gerbeau; Ian Ash; Cllr Len Duvall; Michael Grade; Malcolm Hutchinson; Sir Brian Jenkins; David Quarmby; and Neil Spence. The board discussed NMEC's revised business plan and budget as well as the decision of the then chairman, Robert Ayling, to resign.
