Cut-price tickets for Dome

Cut-price tickets are to be offered for entry to the Millennium Dome and local residents in the borough of Greenwich, south-east London, could get free entrance under plans to be announced next week by Peter Mandelson, the minister responsible for the project, writes Colin Brown.

Mr Mandelson, who will appear on the BBC's Breakfast with Frost from the Dome tomorrow, is due to announce details on Tuesday of the plans for exhibitions inside the Dome, including an androgenous human figure as high as Nelson's column and taller than the Statue of Liberty.
