HC Deb 28 June 1995 vol 262 cc712-3W
Mr. John D. Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what is the Government's policy with regard to the removal of fly posters put up by the Socialist Workers movement and others on main thoroughfares in Belfast. [23660]

Mr. Moss

The Department has no specific policy with regard to fly posting by the Socialist Workers movement or other individual groups. Where sufficient evidence is established current policy allows enforcement proceedings to be taken against any group or individual responsible.

I am concerned generally about the impact of fly posting, not only in Belfast but elsewhere in Northern Ireland, and propose to review current policy and practice. I will write further to the right hon. Gentleman in due course.
