HC Deb 06 March 1975 vol 887 c476W
Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what are the factors making for delays in the provision of water, sewerage, electricity and other facilities in new dwellings.

Mr. Concannon

Local development officers of the Northern Ireland Department of Housing, Local Government and Planning are responsible for co-ordinating the provision of all services in phase with new developments. Delays may be caused by delays with contracts, difficulty in acquiring land, etc., but in general such delays are not serious.
