Mr. McGrady

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what level of financial and other resources will be available to the Department of the Environment in order to implement its environmental policies in Northern Ireland.

Mr. Needham

The provision, including programme expenditure and staff costs, for the implementation of environmental policies by the environment service of the Department of Environment for Northern Ireland is £14.372 million in 1991–92. The activities of other services within the Department, for example, the water service, and of other Northern Ireland Departments, for example, the Department of Agriculture and Department of Economic Development, also contribute towards the achievement of a better environment.
