HC Deb 11 June 1992 vol 209 c255W
Mr. William Ross

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will list the chemicals and the amounts of such chemicals removed from the old Mackies factory in Belfast after the factory was vacated; by whom the materials were removed; by what means final disposal was effected and by whom; what steps he has taken to assure himself that the disposal was safe and effective; what role his Department had in the clearing of such chemicals from the site; and why the chemicals were not removed and disposed of before the premises were vacated.

Mr. Atkins

Lummus Mackie Ltd. has not yet fully vacated its old factory in Belfast. The move to new premises should be completed by the end of August this year, by which time it is understood that all potentially harmful chemicals will have been removed.
