Mr. John D. TaylorTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether he has supplied a union flag to the vehicle inspection and driving test centre, Hamiltonsbawn road, Armagh; if the centre has been advised of the dates on which the union flag is to be flown; why no union flag was flown at these premises on St. Patrick's day and on Easter day; what steps are being taken to arrange for the union flag to be flown on 12 July; and if he will make a statement about future arrangements to fly the union flag at these premises.
§ Dr. MawhinneyA union flag has been supplied to the vehicle inspection and driving test centre, Hamiltonsbawn road, Armagh and the centre has been advised of the prescribed days on which the union flag is to be flown. The union flag was not flown on St. Patrick's day and Easter Sunday due to an oversight by the staff at the centre. This oversight has been drawn to the attention of the staff and they have been instructed to ensure that the union flag is flown on all appropriate dates.
