HC Deb 18 November 1976 vol 919 cc751-2W
Rev. Ian Paisley

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will publish the detailed cut-backs in the road programme in the North Antrim constituency of Northern Ireland.

Mr. Carter

Capital expenditure on the roads programme in the North Antrim constituency has not been affected by the recent cut-backs in public expenditure. There will be a slight reduction—although it is not yet possible to be specific—in the provisions for roads operation and maintenance.

Rev. Ian Paisley

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will publish the detailed cut-backs in the housing programme in the North Antrim constituency of Northern Ireland.

Mr. Carter

The housing programmes for all district council areas are currently being considered by the Housing Executive and the Northern Ireland Department of the Environment before being released to district councils for discussion.

Rev. Ian Paisley

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland (1) if he will publish the detailed cut-backs in the sewerage programme in the North Antrim constituency of Northern Ireland;

(2) if he will publish the detailed cutbacks in the water supply programme in the North Antrim constituency of Northern Ireland.

Mr. Carter

No cut-backs are contemplated in either of these programmes in the North Antrim constituency as a result of the recent cuts in public expenditure.
