HC Deb 18 December 1956 vol 562 cc125-6W
23. Mr. Chichester-Clark

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how long it will take to rebuild the Customs House, near Londonderry, which was destroyed by an illegal organisation this month and what was the extent of the damage.

Mr. H. Macmillan

The Customs land boundary post at Killea was partially destroyed by explosion early on Sunday, 9th December. Three rooms were entirely destroyed, but the work of the post is being carried on in the remaining three rooms, which have been temporarily repaired. Until the effect of the explosion on the main structure of the building has been fully assessed, it cannot be stated whether it will be necessary to rebuild this post entirely or how long the work of reinstatement will take.
