HC Deb 16 December 2002 vol 396 cc546-7W
David Burnside

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will honour the commitment made by the former Northern Ireland Minister of the Environment to conduct an environmental assessment into the proposed landfill site at Mallusk. [87272]

Angela Smith

In July 2002, the previous Minister advised that an addendum updating and reviewing the original environmental statement, received in respect of this planning application would be required before a decision would issue. I can confirm that this remains the current position.

Once received the addendum will be advertised to give the public an opportunity to make representations on the statement as amended.
