HC Deb 28 January 1986 vol 90 c454W
Mr. Stephen Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what are his current proposals for the future use of the former De Lorean factory premises in Belfast.

Dr. Boyson

There are five buildings within the De Lorean complex comprising three units of 50,000 sq ft and two large buildings of 191,000 sq ft and 263,000 sq ft. One 50,000 sq ft unit has been acquired by Short Bros plc and it is intended to retain the other two as part of the Industrial Development Board's factory stock. Private sector proposals will be sought in the near future for the acquisition and subdivision of the two larger buildings for commercial and industrial use.
