HC Deb 11 February 1991 vol 185 c332W
Mr. Hume

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make a statement on the consideration given by the Industrial Development Board to funding a hazardous waste incinerator at Dupont's Maydown complex; what discussions have taken place with Dupont on the subject of grant aid; what figures are being indicated; and what discussions have taken place between the Department of Economic Development and the Industrial Development Board on such grant aid.

Mr. Needham

The Industrial Development Board has not yet given detailed consideration to financial support for a high temperature waste incinerator at Maydown. Du Pont is still at a very early stage in considering the feasibility of constructing such a facility.

Mr. Hume

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether any Northern Ireland Government Minister, Department or public agency communicated with any public official of the Irish Republic regarding Dupont's interest in hazardous waste incineration at its Maydown plant prior to receipt of a letter from the appropriate Minister in the Republic of Ireland in November 1990.

Mr. Needham

No.
