HC Deb 03 May 1990 vol 171 cc631-2W
Ms. Walley

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will ban all use of peat by his Department; whether he will formulate a national peatlands conservation policy; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

I have been asked for the use of peat by Northern Ireland Government Departments to be Supreme Court's judgment in the McGimpsey case. Sectarianism remains as unacceptable after the judgment as before it.
