Lord Eames

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What financial provision, support and encouragement they contemplate for those wishing to return, as part of the current peace process, to homes and property they had been forced to vacate in border areas of Northern Ireland.

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Northern Ireland Office (Lord Dubs)

Under Sub-Programme 6 of the EU Special Support Programme for Peace and Reconciliation, Fermanagh District Partnership has agreed in principle to award £10,000 to "Fear Encouraged Abandoning Route." FEAR, a not for profit company, seeks to support and encourage those contemplating a return to homes and property which they were forced to vacate in the border regions of Fermanagh.
