Nick Harvey

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what is the(a) amount and (b) nature of debts incurred by the Millennium Dome; and what is the timetable for repayment. [21397]

Dr. Howells

The New Millennium Experience Company (NMEC), which built and operated the Dome, handed it over to English Partnerships on 30 June 2001. NMEC has no long-term debt. At the end of November 2001, NMEC held invoices totalling £297,000. NMEC intends to pay all these prior to or shortly after the appointment of a liquidator, expected to be by the end of the year.
