§ Mr. FaberTo ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what is the basis for the reference in his Department's news release no. 49/2000 of 2 March to a 20 ft high, 10 acre concrete platform at the new Wembley National Stadium. [115228]
§ Kate HoeyThe reference to the 20 ft high proposed platform was based on fact. The reference to a size of 10 acres was an unfortunate error, picked up from descriptions given at earlier meetings; the reference should have been to a size of about 5 acres. The proposed 105W platform remains poor value for money and an inappropriate solution to the need for an international athletics facility.
