§ Mr. Peter Robinsonasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland (1) if he considers the making of a vesting order for a proposed car park at Donegall Quay, Belfast consistent with the Belfast urban area plan;
(2) if he will make a statement concerning the intention to make a vesting order for a proposed car park at Done-gall Quay, Belfast;
(3) what the Belfast urban area plan suggested should be the appropriate use of the site designated for a proposed car park at Donegall Quay, Belfast.
§ Mr. GoodhartThe Belfast urban area plan is a general strategy. It identified the site in question as being within an area of change and on the line of a possible road connection to Queen Elizabeth bridge. This road scheme was not developed and it is now intended to use the site for car parking. The property has been owned by the Department of the Environment since March 1979 and a vesting order is now being sought for the acquisition of the head rents. It is considered that the use of the site as a car park is consistent with the plan.
