Thanks for that Els but apparently this is a documented issue:
http://www.hicksdesign.co.uk/journal/ie-whitespace-bug

None of the solutions there worked but I eventually found a fix by hiding a
couple of commands from all browsers except IE by putting an underscore
before them.

#navigationContainer ul {
list-style-type: none;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:0.6em;
padding-bottom:8px;
_float:left;
_clear:both;
}

Not ideal but it works!
