HC Deb 08 March 1991 vol 187 c310W
Mr. Peter Robinson

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will list the level of building control inspection fees and planning fees since 1980; and if it is his intention to increase the fees during the incoming financial year.

Mr. Hanley

Building control inspection fees were introduced in 1982 and increased in 1984, 1987 and 1990. Details of the charges are contained in tables 1 to 4 of SR 1982 No. 392, SR 1983 No. 388, SR 1986 No. 331 and SR 1989 No. 420. It is the Government's intention to consult later this year on a proposal to increase fees for prescribed building control functions during the financial year 1991–92.
