HC Deb 13 June 1985 vol 80 cc535-6W
18. Mr. Stephen Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether he will give further consideration to the revised scheme for piping natural gas put forward by the gas employers, the trade unions and Belfast city council.

Dr. Boyson

The revised scheme has already been very fully considered. It does not provide the basis for a viable gas industry and the Government are therefore unable to support it.
