§ Rev. Ian Paisleyasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland why subsidy was paid on 56, Carlisle Park, Ballynahinch, in view of the fact that the loadbearing walls contain materials for which no British Standard exists, and whose structure violates byelaws 11, 14, 16, 31, 57, 46, 47, and 53.
§ Mr. David Mitchell[pursuant to his reply, 16 March 1981.] Payment of private enterprise housing subsidy is a responsibility for local authorities in Northern Ireland.
I am advised that the former East Down rural district council paid subsidy in respect of 56, Carlisle Park, Ballynahinch, on 13 March 1972 on being satisfied that the dwelling conformed to specifications and plans which the council had approved under the Housing (Owner Occupation) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1956.
