§ Mr. MallonTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many border roads have been closed by order of the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland during the past five years; and if he will state the roads which have been closed.
§ Dr. MawhinneyThe information is not readily available in the format requested and can be obtained only at disproportionate cost. There are, however, 291 recognised border crossing points, 98 of which are subject to closure orders. Seventy-five of these crossings are currently closed.
