Mr. John D. TaylorTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland for what reasons the Northern Ireland Housing Executive removed the play equipment from the play area at the rear of Ryan park in the borough of Castlereagh; and what proposals there are to provide play equipment for the children of this residential area.
§ Mr. NeedhamI am advised by the chief executive of the Northern Ireland Housing Executive that the Housing Executive has not removed any play equipment from the play area at the rear of Ryan park.
The Department of Environment has been unable to establish who removed it. However, I understand that Castlereagh borough council is now considering the provision of new play equipment for the children of the area.
