Mr. J. Enoch Powellasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what steps he is taking to make good, as far as possible, the recent damage to archaeological remains in Saul Street, Downpatrick, and to prevent the repetition of this type of incident.
§ Mr. David MitchellAn archaeologist from the Department of the Environment, Northern Ireland, historic monuments and buildings branch was unable to find evidence of archaeological remains when he inspected this site soon after work had begun. In the light of this the Department is reviewing its own procedures for informing its historic monuments and buildings section of proposed redevelopment of possible sites of archaeological historic interest.
