HC Deb 03 July 1990 vol 175 c511W
Mr. Clifford Forsythe

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will commission a study of the feasibility of installing a branch gas pipeline to Northern Ireland from the gas pipeline crossing the Irish sea from Morecambe bay.

Mr. Needham

The possibility of using natural gas for electricity generation in Northern Ireland is currently being examined. It is too early to speculate on the likely route of any gas interconnector from Great Britain.
