HC Deb 13 December 1995 vol 268 c656W
Mr. Peter Robinson

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what work has been carried out to restore the parliamentary debating chamber at Stormont since the fire. [5681]

Mr. Moss

The complete restoration of the chamber forms part of the major refurbishment of Parliament buildings which began on 1 November, but work to the chamber itself has not yet started. Archive material from the time of the construction of the building has been assembled and wood for the re-panelling of the walls has been purchased. Work is scheduled for completion in January 1997.
