ENGINEERING THE DOME

Early day motion 64, tabled 19 November 1999 by Claire Curtis-Thomas (Labour). Signed by 24 members.

That this House congratulates the Bath-based engineering consultancy Buro Happold on winning the 1999 Royal Academy of Engineering MacRobert Award - the United Kingdom's most prestigious engineering prize - for its pioneering engineering design of the Millennium Dome; notes that the Dome is an extremely cost-effective solution to covering the Greenwich site and costs less per square metre than a retail warehouse; notes that Dome technology could be used in the future to protect people living in extreme climate zones; and applauds the achievements of the winning engineers Ian Liddel, Paul Westbury, Darwood Pandor and Gary Dagger for developing a revolutionary structure that represents the future of large-span, value-for-money buildings.

Signatures by party: Labour 17, Liberal Democrat 3, Conservative 2, Independent 1, Labour/Co-operative 1.
