HC Deb 28 April 1977 vol 930 cc388-9W
Mr. Wm. Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland when it is intended to vest the lands and premises needed for the Glendermatt link road in Londonderry; and what is now the expected date of the contract being placed and the completion date.

Mr. Carter

The Northern Ireland Department of the Environment hopes to give public notice in June of its intention to acquire the land for the road. Considerable rehousing of tenants will be required, and it is unlikely that the contract for the road works could be placed before 1979. The planning of a contract would also be subject to financial resources being available. A road scheme of this nature usually takes about two years to complete.
