Nothing to shout about
Inspite of the Millenium Dome being a dismal failure, the fact that the tax payer may at last see some money from it will probably be spun as a another triumph for Blairism. In fact it could be argued that John Prescott has already started with this quote...Delivery of the many benefits secured through this deal will continue the substantial progress already made at the Millennium Village and elsewhere on the peninsula.
Thank heavens then, for the chairman of the Commons public accounts committee, Edward Leigh, for bringing a solid dose of reality to proceedings...
Four years after the Millennium Exhibition closed, the Government finally has a deal to find a use for what has been a white elephant since it closed in a deal that, incredible as it may seem, should bring in some money and provide a benefit for the local area and the country as whole.
However, it was more a question of luck that a strong bid turned up after the first abortive attempt.
Maybe another topic for the FoI act?
