HC Deb 13 March 1995 vol 256 cc423-4W
Mr. Peter Robinson

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what plans he has to restore the Assembly chamber at Parliament buildings, Stormont, after the fire; and if the new chamber will be a replication of the previous design and decor.

Mr. Moss

Following the completion of the Royal Ulster Constabulary and forensic investigation, the process of salvaging material which might assist with restoration has begun, as has a detailed examination of the extent of the damage. When these exercises are completed, a decision will be taken on the restoration of the chamber.

Mr. Peter Robinson

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland when he expects to receive the report from Sir Reginald Doyle on the fire and related matters at the Parliament buildings, Stormont.

Mr. Moss

My right hon. and learned Friend expects to receive the report from Sir Reginald Doyle before the end of March.
