§ Miss McIntoshTo ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport (1) when she will make a decision on the memorial fountain to Diana Princess of Wales; when work on the memorial fountain will commence; and when it is expected that the memorial fountain will be on view to the public; [71243]
(2) what her latest estimate is of the cost of the memorial fountain to Diana, Princess of Wales; and if she will make a statement. [71244]
§ Tessa Jowell[holding answer 18 July 2002]: I announced on 31 July that I had selected Gustafson Porter to design the fountain to commemorate the life of Diana, Princess of Wales. Work to design and construct the fountain will begin immediately. £3 million has been allocated to the project. I expect the main part of the memorial to be in place by the sixth anniversary of her death; the establishment of the surrounding landscaping will take longer.
