Mr. William Ross

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many jobs will be created by the Seagate investment in Londonderry; what he expects the catchment area for employees to be; how many(a) Roman Catholic and (b) Protestant employees, will represent the balance in the work force consistent with fair employment practices; and what are the proportions of Roman Catholics and Protestants in the expected catchment area of employment.

Mr. Atkins

Over the next four years, employment at the Seagate investment in Londonderry is expected to reach 506. Responsibility for recruitment rests with the employer. Under the Fair Employment (Northern Ireland) Act 1989, all employers are required to afford fair participation in employment to members of both communities. The Fair Employment Commission will provide information and advice on any aspect of fair employment practices, including catchment areas, to any employer.
