§ Mr. KilfedderTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many clients have been asked by Enterprise Ulster to supply additional materials during the course of a job so that it could be completed; and, where this has occurred, what checks were made to ensure that proper use was made of the materials originally supplied.
§ Mr. NeedhamThere are no figures available of the number of Enterprise Ulster clients who have been asked and agreed to the supply of additional materials during the course of a job.
Strict checks are carried out by supervisory staff on all materials supplied and used.
§ Mr. KilfedderTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what arrangements there are for Enterprise Ulster having been supplied with materials for a client job not all of which have been used to make a payment in lieu of the return of the material.

§ Mr. KilfedderTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what steps are taken to ensure that the practice of Enterprise Ulster in requiring clients to supply the materials needed for a particular job ensures efficient use of such materials and allows for proper stock control.
§ Mr. NeedhamThe use of materials, whether obtained by Enterprise Ulster or supplied by clients, is supervised, controlled and monitored by Enterprise Ulster's supervisors and area superintendents who are trained in efficient materials usage and stock control.
