V a l and I w e n t to this first meeting, at the (somewhat t a r d y ) i n v i t a t i o n o f Jenny Ranson made to me the previous e v e n i n g . A f o r m a l m i n u t e o f the meeting w i l l be w i t h me s h o r t l y w h i c h I w i l l c i r c u l a t e . I
also attach V a l ' s i n t e r n a l Overseas R a d i o b r i e f i n g paper.
I make a few observations: * M e e t i n g s (to take place at the F C O o n the t h i r d Wednesday o f every m o n t h u n t i l September 1993) are designed to co-ordinate F C O i n f o r m a t i o n for overseas use o n a l l media - the theme b e i n g Manchester hosting the O l y m p i c Games i n 2 0 0 0 . T h i s latter date (on the 2 3 r d ) is w h e n the I n t e r n a t i o n a l O l y m p i c C o m m i t t e e w i l l choose the successful candidate - front line contenders are P e k i n g and Sydney. W e w e r e t o l d that Manchester is a member o f this "front l i n e " . E d i t o r i a l events that m i g h t be o f interest to us i n c l u d e the M a r c h 1993 v i s i t o f the I n t e r n a t i o n a l O l y m p i c C o m m i t t e e to Manchester and a p u b l i c i t y push i n F e b r u a r y . A t Salford K e y s a Presentation Suite is b u i l d i n g that m i g h t offer other p r o g r a m m e o p p o r t u n i t i e s . T h e r e are t w o corporate videos that I have v i e w e d . One is b u i l t around an i n t e r v i e w (by B r i a n Redhead) w i t h the P r i m e M i n i s t e r , the second has a to-camera statement f r o m M r M a j o r and range o f selling messages backed b y the k i n d o f visuals that lead one to suspect that the p r o g r a m m e d i r e c t o r had v e r y l i t t l e o f the Manchester O l y m p i c site to shoot! L y n n Beatty, o f the Greater Manchester V i s i t o r C o n v e n t i o n B u r e a u , made a plea that a l l p u b l i c i t y material should use the latest stadia/velodrome plans and the correct pantone shades o f the l o g o . C h r i s Stephens ( F C O Publications) has already produced some basic w a l l charts. She repeated the theme o f the b i d - that Manchester 2 0 0 0 should become part o f the B r i t i s h v o c a b u l a r y and that the b i d was backed 100% b y the people o f Manchester. /Cont'd

*r

* * Jenny p o i n t e d out that there was an "Inside B r i t a i n " that featured a story o n Manchester as part o f the p r o g r a m m e s o v e r a l l theme o f sport i n B r i t a i n . She mentioned " U K T o d a y " i n the same v e i n . I t was agreed that the Manchester B i d P R team should prepare a calender list o f events leading up to September 1993 so that t h e i r true newsworthiness could be assessed. M a n y o f us cautioned the n a t u r a l l y proactive Manchester team f r o m i n u n d a t i n g the news media w i t h a surfeit o f storeys. T h i s calender to be available f o r the next meeting (Wednesday 18th N o v e m b e r ) . 5 5 m i l l i o n had been c o m m i t t e d b y g o v e r n m e n t to support the b i d - but i t seemed to me that the press and P R side w e r e under-resourced b o t h i n cash and m a n p o w e r terms.

RECOMMENDATION: A t this i n a u g u r a l meeting there was a strong C O I presence w h i c h may not be required i n such force at further meetings. Indeed, the C h a i r m a n believed that further meetings w o u l d be able to focus better w i t h fewer attending o v e r a l l . I t seems to me that S i m o n Petherick is the ideal person to represent o u r interests and circulate feedback.

From:

M A N C H E S T E R 2000 O L Y M P I C B I D

V a l and I w e n t to this first meeting, at the (somewhat t a r d y ) i n v i t a t i o n o f Jenny Ranson made to me the previous e v e n i n g . A f o r m a l m i n u t e o f the meeting w i l l be w i t h me shortly w h i c h I w i l l c i r c u l a t e . I also attach V a l ' s i n t e r n a l Overseas R a d i o b r i e f i n g paper. I make a few observations: * M e e t i n g s (to take place at the F C O o n the t h i r d Wednesday o f e v e r y m o n t h u n t i l September 1993) are designed to co-ordinate F C O i n f o r m a t i o n for overseas use o n a l l media - the theme b e i n g Manchester hosting the O l y m p i c Games i n 2 0 0 0 . T h i s latter date ( o n the 2 3 r d ) is w h e n the International O l y m p i c C o m m i t t e e w i l l choose the successful candidate - front l i n e contenders are P e k i n g and Sydney. W e w e r e t o l d that Manchester is a m e m b e r o f this "front l i n e " . E d i t o r i a l events that m i g h t be o f interest to us i n c l u d e the M a r c h 1993 v i s i t o f the International O l y m p i c C o m m i t t e e to Manchester and a p u b l i c i t y push i n F e b r u a r y . A t Salford K e y s a Presentation Suite is b u i l d i n g that m i g h t offer other p r o g r a m m e o p p o r t u n i t i e s . T h e r e are t w o corporate videos that I have v i e w e d . One is b u i l t a r o u n d an i n t e r v i e w ( b y B r i a n Redhead) w i t h the P r i m e M i n i s t e r , the second has a to-camera statement f r o m M r M a j o r and range o f selling messages backed b y the k i n d o f visuals that lead one to suspect that the p r o g r a m m e d i r e c t o r had v e r y l i t t l e o f the Manchester O l y m p i c site to shoot! L y n n Beatty, o f the Greater Manchester V i s i t o r C o n v e n t i o n B u r e a u , made a plea that a l l p u b l i c i t y material should use the latest stadia/velodrome plans and the correct pantone shades o f the l o g o . C h r i s Stephens ( F C O Publications) has already produced some basic w a l l charts. She repeated the theme o f the b i d - that Manchester 2 0 0 0 should become part o f the B r i t i s h v o c a b u l a r y and that the b i d was backed 100% b y the people o f Manchester. /Cont'd

Jenny p o i n t e d out that there was an "Inside B r i t a i n " that featured a story o n Manchester as part o f the p r o g r a m m e s o v e r a l l theme o f sport i n B r i t a i n . She mentioned " U K T o d a y " i n the same v e i n . I t was agreed that the Manchester B i d PR team should prepare a calender list o f events leading up to September 1993 so that t h e i r true newsworthiness could be assessed. M a n y o f us cautioned the n a t u r a l l y proactive Manchester team f r o m i n u n d a t i n g the news media w i t h a surfeit o f storeys. T h i s calender to be available f o r the next meeting (Wednesday 18th N o v e m b e r ) . 5 5 m i l l i o n had been c o m m i t t e d b y g o v e r n m e n t to support the b i d - b u t i t seemed t o me that the press and P R side w e r e under-resourced b o t h i n cash and m a n p o w e r terms.

RECOMMENDATION: A t this i n a u g u r a l meeting there was a strong C O I presence w h i c h m a y not be required i n such force at further meetings. Indeed, the C h a i r m a n believed that further meetings w o u l d be able to focus better w i t h fewer attending o v e r a l l . I t seems to me that S i m o n Petherick is the ideal person to represent o u r interests and circulate feedback.

Those present:

E i l e e n Jones Gavin McGuire K e l l y Freeman Huw Williams D a v i d Scrivener Bob T h o r p e

( N e t w o r k Manchester) (Overseas R a d i o ) ( C l i e n t Services) (Stills) (Stills) ( H o m e & Overseas T V P r o d u c t i o n )

Points raised: 1. M y personal feeling is that this c o - o r d i n a t i o n meeting is relevant b u t too late, w e should have been i n at the g r o u n d l e v e l far earlier. T h e r e m a y be m a n y reasons w h y w e w e r e n o t . . . E i l e e n Jones wants to make a fresh approach to B o b Scott g i v i n g the g l o b a l international perspective o f C O I support. She has already had contact w i t h h i m and is v e r y f a m i l i a r w i t h his Manchester C V . O n the T V and R a d i o side w e have t w o levels o f i n t e r n a t i o n a l d i s t r i b u t i o n the posts themselves and the broadcasters. Staniforth P R are the current incumbents f o r p u b l i c relations f o r Manchester 2 0 0 0 and clearly there is a strong l o c a l c o m m i t m e n t to using l o c a l suppliers. A t the m o m e n t w e are p l a n n i n g a direct approach C O I to B o b Scott, an alternative approach m i g h t be C O I to Staniforth P R . T h e meeting agreed that E i l e e n Jones w i l l sort out the B o b Scott relationship - r e p o r t to K e l l y F r e e m a n , and as a result o f that E i l e e n Jones w i l l t a l k to
Bob Scott d i r e c t .
H u w W i l l i a m s and D a v i d Scrivener seemed m o r e aware o f F C O / C O I ' s sensitivities and overlaps than the rest o f us w e r e . I t was generally felt that senior management need o n l y be i n f o r m e d o f f o r w a r d m o t i o n o n this issue by copies o f action documents. ^ ^AaVccU* " ^ ' U

~^WrltteVA^isZerT~

Mr. Dafis: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will bring forward proposals to simplify the certification procedures for the buildres of new houses currently in force in relation to the council tax. Mr. Robin Squire: Billing authont.es will serve a completion notice on the owner of a new building when the work remaining to be done can reasonably be expected to be completed within three months. This brings the procedure for serving completion notices in respect of domestic property into line with current practice in respect of non-domestic property. Mr. Hinchliffe: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what reduction in council tax will be available to disabled persons in band A properties. Mr. Robin Squire: I refer the hon. Member to the written answers I gave the hon. Member for Rossendale and Darwen (Ms. Anderson) on 5 November 1992, Official Report, column 370, and 18 November 1992, Official Report, column 203. Water Metering Mr. Llwyd: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how many representations he has received to his consultation paper "Using Water Wisely" to date; and how many of these representations have expressed opposition to a United Kingdom water metering scheme. Mr. Maclean: We have received 343 responses to the consultation paper. Forty-eight respondents indicated opposition to metering. It is for each company to decide the method of charging its customers. gj.jk Mr. Alton: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what evidence he has as to changes in the population of robins and other species of British birds; and if he will make a statement. Mr. Maclean: The British Trust for Ornithology's common bird census report for 1991 revealed that significant declines in the populations of 20 species, including robins, little owls, skylarks, blackbirds, songthrushes, house martins, bullfinches and yellowham mers. Five species including sparrowhawks and kestrels had increased in numbers. The BTO report indicated declines over a wide range of habitats. For many species the declines are considered to be normalfluctuationsand numbers could be expected to be regained quickly. The bad climatic conditions in the spring of 1991 was a factor and some migrant warbler species wintering in Africa were affected by drought conditions there. Timber _. _ _ , . _ . Mr. Dans: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what representations he has made to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species to secure the inclusion of additional timber species on its lists, since May 1992. Mr. Maclean: None. Additions to the appendices to the convention are considered at the biennial conferences of the parties. At the conference last March, we proposed 304 C 65 Job 12-5 W/0

successfully that African teak (Pericopsis elata) should be

listed. We also supported the listing of American
mahogany (Swietenia mahogani), Lignun vitae (Guaiacum
officinale), and Brazilian rosewood (Dalbergia nigra).
We shall be considering what proposals to put to the
c e in due course, on the basis of scientific
evidence

Manchester Olympics Bid Secretary of State for the

Environment if he will make a statement on Government
support for the Manchester 2000 Olympics bid.
, -, ^ / STT"^" - Z
heartedly Manchester s bid for the 2000 Olymp.c Games
and the Prime Minister and other Ministers are actively
involved in promoting it. We are providing up to
75 million support. Of this, 2 million is in aid of the bid
itself, matching private funds raised; and up to 73 million
is towards the construction of an Olympic arena, a
national cycling centre and the acquisition and prepara
tion of the site for the main Olympic stadium.
We look forward to welcoming members of the
International Olympic Committee when they visit
Manchester over the coming months in preparation for
decision on the host city in September 1993.

Valuation Officers I Mr. Steen: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what advice he has given to valuation officers with regard to rating as one unit households which include a granny flat so that children can care for their parents at home. Mr. Robin Squire: The Council Tax (Chargeable Dwellings) Order 1992SI 1992/549requires listing officers to treat as a dwelling for the purposes of council tax each self contained unit constructed or adapted for use as separate living accommodation. Granny flats are therefore treated in the same way as all other domestic property. The council tax bill for one resident will be subject to a 25 per cent, discount. The bill will be further reducedin some cases to zeroby council tax benefit, depending on the income and circumstances of the resident. Bed-and-Breakfast Accommodation " Hinchliffe: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how many families were placed in bed-and-breakfast accommodation, annually, in each year > <"> 8 <) S S Mr. Baldry: Estimates for the calendar years 1987 to 1991 of the average number of households in England who were being dealt with under the homelessness provisions of the Housing Act 1985 and were temporarily placed in bed-and-breakfast accommodation are given in the table.

____i of sponsorship is looking at what our clients may be able to do to help, but I feel it's all a bit too littie, too late. "Companies could have built some sort of support for ManChester 2000 into their marketing programmes from an earlier stage if we'd been contacted about it sooner. It's a lost opportunity because clients would have been willing to do something and would have benefited from it," she adds. "If Manchester 2000 had appointed an international agency, which would have treated it like a charity account, it would have given the bid a broader perspective and national identity." Scott says: "We may be looking for corporate support a bit late but that doesn't mean itV not worth doing. However last minute, if it's communicating round the world that companies are supporting us then that has its own message and urgency. Major players are coming on board now." Scott's personal determination to win the Olympic bid is almost palpable but he's not beyond contemplating the notion that his quest may fail. "Manchester should not think that not getting the games in September is a failure. Clearly there will be a hangover if we are M R E I G W E J N 25 1993 A K TN E K U E not successful but Manchester has a lot going for it. It is a city with a lot of initiative and ambition and the Olympic bid is a vivid illustration of that," he says. "It's a high profit, high risk strategy but life won't stop if we don't get the games," he adds. Even though there are only 90 days to go, more IOC delegates will be going to the ballot box without their minds made up than ever before. Scott believes that few, if any,
delegates have already made their decisions in the sense that nothing will shift them now. The city has a good rational argument for hosting the games but at this stage it lacks the emotional argument that could swing the vote its way. Converting the bid from a Manchester bid to a British one (Britain is the stronger "brand") and injecting a dose of passion in the national consciousness could help the city's chances. "3__ __MMWI

If Manchester gets the

Olympic nod then just about
every company in the country
can put its marketing and adver tising plans in the shredder, says
Scott.
"The power of the Manchester
Olympic bid in marketing
terms will be nothing compared
with the power of the games
themselves if they come to this
city," he says,
"It will give us the greatest
marketing platform this country'
has ever seen." %> JMW ' 0P '

LEADER OF THE LABOUR PARTY GIVES FULL

B A C K I N G T O O L Y M P I C G A M E S IN M A N C H E S T E R
Manchester 2000, t h e British O l y m p i c Bid, has b e e n formally given the enthusiastic
a n d official backing of the the Labour Party as well as the Government, it w a s
a n n o u n c e d today. (August 18)
Mr J o h n Smith, Leader of the Opposition, has written to the Prime Minister to
confirm that a future Labour G o v e r n m e n t w o u l d endorse completely the present
G o v e r n m e n t ' s g u a r a n t e e that all O l y m p i c facilities will be provided. Therefore, the
International Olympic C o m m i t t e e c a n be confident that the political establishment
of all Britain's leading parties is b e h i n d the delivery of the Millennium G a m e s .
T h e timing of the a n n o u n c e m e n t is particularly important in the light of the postponement of Brasilia's b i d until 2 0 0 4 . T h e Prime Minister g u a r a n t e e d delivery of all facilities to the President of the
International O l y m p i c C o m m i t t e e , the M a r q u e s de Samaranch, during a recent visit
to 10 Downing Street. T h e Labour Leader's endorsement e n s u r e s that the
Manchester Bid is entirely risk free for the O l y m p i c Movement.
Mr S m i t h underlined his support to Councillor G r a h a m Stringer, Leader of the
Labour-controlled City Council w h e n he m a d e a n intensive inspection tour of
