Sarah Teather says that both the Tories and Labour should apologise for the Dome

Commenting on today's NAO report into the Millennium Dome, which reveals that attempts to sell it off 'proved a complete fiasco', Sarah Teather MP, Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for London, said:

"The Millennium Dome remains a shrine to both Conservative and Labour Governments' incompetence and ineptitude.

"Millions of pounds of taxpayer's money have been thrown away on a project that failed to provide any positive lasting legacy for London's East End.

"Ministers had a big idea with no long term plan or vision which means the whole thing has been a whopping waste of money. Both the Tories, for coming up with the idea of the Dome, and Labour, for following it through, owe a big apology to the capital for an expensive empty tent."
