HC Deb 27 November 1975 vol 901 cc273-4W
Mr. Dunlop

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland on what basis the extra money for small water schemes will be used for such schemes in mid-Ulster.

Mr. Concannon

The water service of the Northern Ireland Department of the Environment proposes to spend approximately £230,000 in the mid-Ulster constituency on about 20 small water and sewerage schemes before 31st March 1977. These schemes will, subject to consultation with the district councils, be chosen from amongst those excluded from the ordinary capital works programme because of lack of finance. They will provide some 20 additional jobs and will speed up the provision and improvement of water and sewerage services in the district council areas of Cookstown, Magherafelt, Strabane and Omagh.
