HC Deb 10 December 1992 vol 215 c737W
Mr. McGrady

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what progress has been made in obtaining land for industrial sites in Kilkeel in the constituency of South Down.

Mr. Atkins

The Industrial Development Board—IDB—has no plans to acquire land for industrial sites in Kilkeel, as industrially zoned land is already available in private ownership in the town.

Mr. McGrady

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what progress has been made in obtaining land for industrial sites on the Ballydugan road, Downpatrick; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Atkins

The IDB is in negotiation with Dunleath Estates to acquire a six-acre site at Ballydugan road, Downpatrick. It is hoped that agreement can be reached soon.
