Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Glentoran (Conservative). It was answered on Tuesday, 17 July 2007.


Millennium Dome

Question
My Lords, in fact when the new Labour Government came in they asked for, and were given, three months to decide whether to take on the Dome. Had they refused at that time, which in hindsight might have been the wise decision, the total cost of breaking the contracts would have been £50 million.
Answer

My Lords, I am grateful for that fact. The noble Lord will also be aware that there were one or two voices from the previous Conservative Administration who were really rather keen that we should continue the project.
