HC Deb 24 January 2001 vol 361 cc644-5W
Mr. McGrady

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, if he will grant an ex-gratia payment to the local community association in Bishopscourt/Ballyhornan in order to assist with the demilitarisation of the area. [145943]

Mr. Mandelson

Forward to
