Mr. Wm. Rossasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will list in the Official Report those provisions of the law in Great Britain to be extended to Northern Ireland by the proposed draft Pollution Control and Local Government (Northern Ireland) Order 1978 and those not to be extended; and if he will list those provisions subsisting in Northern Ireland not paralleled in Great Britain.
§ Mr. Carter, pursuant to his reply [Official Report, 15th May 1978], gave the following information:
Sections 75, 77 (Part), 100, 101 and 109 of the Control of Pollution Act 1974 already extend to Northern Ireland. The Draft Pollution Control and Local Government (Northern Ireland) Order 1978 makes similar provision for Northern Ireland as already provided in Great Britain by the 1974 Act with the exception of Sections 15, 25, 26, 29, 31–56—but not 46(4)—85, 86, 89, 90, 92, 95, 97, 98, 106 and 107 of that Act.
All the provisions of the draft order already exist in Great Britain, with the exception of certain minor amendments to the Water Act (Northern Ireland) 1972 and the Water and Sewerage Services (Northern Ireland) Order 1974, set out in paragraphs 1, 2 and 4 of Schedule 3 of the draft order.
