Dept for Culture Media and Sport

Answer

Mr. Greenway: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport if (a) he and (b) members of the Wembley Maintenance Committee have discussed with Brent Council a section 106 agreement for transport infrastructure investment in connection with the granting of planning consent for the redevelopment of Wembley Stadium; and if he will make a statement [119121] Kate Hoey: Planning issues including section 106 agreements are solely a matter for the London Borough of Brent. Therefore, neither Ministers nor officials from the Department have discussed section 106 agreements for transport infrastructure with the London Borough of Brent. Similarly, this is not an issue which the Wembley Monitoring Committee has discussed with the London Borough of Brent though individual members of the Committee, such as Wembley National Stadium Ltd., have had such discussions in the course of their normal business. The Wembley Task Force has discussed a range of transport and other infrastructure issues relating to the wider Wembley regeneration area but this has not included negotiation of section 106 agreements which are a matter for the London Borough of Brent and relevant developers.
