Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, in view of allegations that para-military organisations are manipulating co-operative and other enterprises in Belfast, what criteria are laid down, and what directions have been given, for the granting of planning permission for such enterprises; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Concannon

Planning applications in Northern Ireland are determined in accordance with the planning law, and under land use planning criteria which are applied to all applications.
