HC Deb 09 January 2001 vol 360 cc519-20W
Mr. McNamara

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland on how many occasions police have been involved in preventing travellers from using the St. Christopher's Park site; what information is available to the police concerning alternative accommodation; and what is the policy of the police concerning movement of travellers who wish to enter and use the site closest to the Quays shopping centre in Newry. [142331]

Mr. Ingram

Police do not become involved in preventing travellers using the St. Christopher's Park site although they do retain a key to the height restriction barrier installed at the site. Information concerning alternative accommodation is not made available to the police nor is there any police policy covering the movement of travellers wishing to enter and use the site closest to the Quays Shopping Centre in Newry.
