HC Deb 04 December 1978 vol 959 c546W
Rev. Ian Paisley

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make a statement on the future of the cement industry in Northern Ireland.

Mr. Pendry

I have at present little to add to the reply my right hon. Friend the Minister of State gave to the hon. Member on 22nd November 1978.

I met senior management representatives of Blue Circle Industries on 28th November and pressed for the earliest possible start on the provision of new production facilities in Northern Ireland.
