Wembley Stadium: Construction

Volume 480: debated on Wednesday 15 October 2008

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how much his Department spent on monitoring progress in the construction of Wembley Stadium in each of the last three years; and if he will break down the costs by category. (225282)

DCMS engaged Sport England to monitor the contract for the demolition and rebuilding of Wembley Stadium and provide confirmation that work relating to milestones had been satisfactorily completed and payment could be made by the Department. The cost of this monitoring in the last three years is as follows:

£000

2005-06

75

2006-07

50

2007-08

75

As the monitoring only related to confirming that work had been satisfactorily completed there is no breakdown of costs into categories.
