LONDON EYE

Early day motion 165, tabled 23 May 2005 by Baroness Hoey (Labour). Signed by 98 members.

That this House believes that the London Eye has been instrumental in regenerating London's South Bank; congratulates the London Eye Company and its staff on becoming the UK's most popular attraction; believes that South Bank Centre (SBC)'s demands for a massive increase in rent is an outrage and that the eviction notice served on the London Eye is against the public interest and should be withdrawn immediately; and calls on the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport to use her influence to persuade SBC to withdraw its threat of eviction and accept an appropriate level of rent.

Signatures by party: Conservative 44, Labour 36, Liberal Democrat 13, DUP 5.
