Mr. Baker: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what discussions officials in his Department
have had with representatives of (a) Lattice Properties and (b) British Gas with regard to the sale of the site of the Millennium
Dome. [145418]
Ms Armstrong: [holding answer 16 January 2001]:
Officials from my Department were present at one meeting in November 2000 between English Partnerships and Lattice Properties,
concerning the potential sale of the Dome and contractual issues related to such a sale. Those contractual issues relate to the
original purchase of the land from British Gas by English Partnerships, and therefore will be matters for discussion between English
Partnerships and Lattice Properties and/or British Gas.
May I also take this opportunity to inform the House about the respective roles of the New Millennium Experience Company and English
Partnerships in selling the Dome.
Now that the Millennium Experience has finished, the prime focus of the New Millennium Experience Company (NMEC) is on discharging
their outstanding obligations and achieving an efficient wind-up.
English Partnerships (EP) continues to manage, on behalf of Government, the process of selling the Dome, in close conjunction with
NMEC.
To facilitate a smooth sale process, and rationalise the arrangements within the public sector, a new agreement was signed by NMEC
and EP on 12 January, to vary the original agreement to lease between the two bodies.
The new agreement provides for NMEC to terminate its occupancy of the site after it has returned all items owned by third parties.
English Partnerships will then carry out the remainder of the work necessary to sell the site.
The agreement reflects the Government's decision about how the proceeds from the sale of the Dome are to be divided. In making this
decision the Government have had regard to the need to balance the reasonable interests of the taxpayer and the lottery player
respectively. The Government expect to apply these principles to any future sale of the Dome, irrespective of whether the current
negotiations with Legacy plc are successful. The proceeds are to be divided in the following way: The competition and other costs
will be deducted from the payments for the Dome site made on Completion and the ground rent later payable on the Dome site. Of the
remainder, half will be paid to English Partnerships as owners of the land, and half to the New Millennium Experience Company as
owners of the Dome structure. Once NMEC has been wound up, it is intended that any remaining share of the proceeds will pass to the
Millennium Commission. The same split will be applied in principle to payments made in respect of the land adjacent to the Dome
which is also included in the sale, up to a threshold fixed in monetary terms. Above that threshold all payments will go to English
Partnerships. The precise figures involved in any division of proceeds will not be known until a sale is finalised and costs
ascertained. Certain further details, eg relating to clawback/profit share, are bound up with the current negotiations with Legacy
plc, and are therefore commercially confidential; however, it is expected that broadly the same principles outlined above will
apply. Currently forecast costs to be deducted as explained above include about £15 million in relation to certain decommissioning
requirements and approximately £7 million for the Dome competition.

Mrs. Dunwoody: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) what consultations have taken place between the Health and
Safety Executive, his Department, and elected Greater London Authority members about the proposed deal to hand control of the London
Fire Service to The Leasing Group (Lattice plc); [141148]
(2) if he will place in the Library details of the arrangements entered into by The Leasing Group (Lattice plc) and the Greater
London Authority to take control of the Fire Service; and if he will list all the fire engines and fire stations included in these
arrangements. [141149]
Mr. Mike O'Brien: Statutory responsibility for the provision of, and any contractual arrangements to secure, an efficient fire
service in London rests with the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority. The contract signed between the Authority and The
Leasing Group Fire Services on 16 November 2000 is for the provision, management and maintenance of the Authority's operational and
non-operational vehicles and fireboats and some operational equipment. It does not include fire stations. The Home Office is
supporting the project through the provision of notional credit approvals under the Private Finance Initiative.
