Select Committee on Business and Enterprise Minutes of Evidence


Examination of Witnesses (Question 400)

NSCC, SECG

10 DECEMBER 2007

  Q400  Miss Kirkbride: The Dome was ready but not finished, I would argue—but there we are.

  Mr Hursthouse: As a construction project it was completed on time and on budget. What they put inside it was another matter.

  Chairman: It is quite good to think of the function of a building before you build it—but never mind! Gentlemen, you have been a very good double act, if I may say so—admirably succinct. You have not replicated each other's answers either! We are very grateful to you. I know it is a slightly difficult and artificial way to conduct these affairs, bringing the two of you together, but we are short of time, and you have done your sectors proud. We are very grateful. We have suggested one additional written memorandum, Mr Wren, but if there is anything either of you have not had a chance to say today and on reflection you would like to qualify your written evidence to us, please feel free to drop a note and make that clear to us. Thank you very much indeed.
