HC Deb 02 July 1986 vol 100 c587W
Mr. Archer

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what offer has been made by the Catholic Church in Northern Ireland to release land for use by the Northern Ireland Housing Executive for the rehousing of the present tenants of the Divis flats; what is the basis of such an arrangement; and when the land would become available.

Mr. Needham

I am not aware of any offer of land by the Catholic Church for use by the Northern Ireland Housing Executive in the rehousing of tenants of Divis Complex.

Mr. Archer

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what plans exist for the demolition of the Divis flats in Belfast; and what dates are planned for the completion of demolition and the completion of rehousing of the present residents of Divis.

Mr. Needham

Demolition of Pound block will begin shortly. St. Brendan's block will be demolished around the turn of the year. The Northern Ireland Housing Executive has made no plans for further demolition.
