§ Mr. Carsonasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what communications have taken place between Mr. Eddie Simpson, Principal Officer of Housing in Northern Ireland, and Mr. Harry Molloy of Northern Ireland Housing Executive, regarding the employment of ex-detainees and ex-internees regarding work to Housing Executive property in West Belfast.
§ Mr. ConcannonIt is not customary to make public exchanges between officials in the course of their duties. However, it is neither the policy nor the practice of officials to attempt to direct the Housing Executive to interfere with the proper responsibility of a contractor for his work force.
