Mr. McGrady

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what plans he has to increase job creation and industrial promotion in South Down in the next six months.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

The Government will continue to give high priority to economic development throughout Northern Ireland including South Down. Substantial resources have been made available to the Industrial Development Board and to the Local Enterprise Development Unit. Both these organisations will continue to be active in encouraging the establishment of new industry and the growth of existing businesses so as to secure viable long-term jobs for all areas of the Province.
