HC Deb 13 December 1976 vol 922 c557W
Mr. Powell

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make a further statement about the position of the Newry gas undertaking.

Mr. Concannon

Pending the result of the Northern Ireland gas industry study, I have decided to extend for a further period of six months the assistance given by the Department of Commerce for the six months to September 1976, details of which were given in a reply by the former Minister of State on 18th June.—[Vol. 913, c. 291.]
