§ Mr. BeggsTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what action is being taken to reverse continuing job losses in East Antrim and to create alternative employment in manufacturing industry for those who have lost their jobs as a result of factory closures.
§ Mr. NeedhamThe east Antrim area benefits from the wide range of measures currently undertaken by the Government to promote economic and industrial development throughout Northern Ireland. Following the closures of GEC Alsthom in Lame, the Industrial Development Board is continuing to search for a viable project which could utilise the site of the former GEC operation.
