HC Deb 27 June 1979 vol 969 c223W
Mr. Wm. Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will now list the projects delayed, extended in completion date, and cancelled by the recently announced cuts in public expenditure in the district council areas of Londonderry, Coleraine and Limavady, and in Northern Ireland generally.

Mr. Humphrey Atkins

, pursuant to his reply [Official Report, 25 June 1979], gave the following answer:

In Northern Ireland generally, a number of road schemes will be deferred for varying periods and there may be a small effect arising from the £31 million reduction in the Northern Ireland Housing Executive capital and maintenance expenditure. In the three district council areas mentioned, the only project at present specifically affected is Strand Road—section III—in Londonderry, which is to be deferred for 10 months.
