HL Deb 02 February 2005 vol 669 c38WA
Lord Laird

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by the Lord President on 12 November (WA 101), what agencies were consulted about the Chichester Street security barriers in Belfast; what were their views; and when is a decision on their removal expected. [HL217]

Baroness Amos

The PSNI at Musgrave Street, PSNI security branch and the judiciary were consulted about the removal of the security barriers at Chichester Street.

At present the decision for removal of these barriers rests with the PSNI. They advise us that the overall security framework for Belfast city centre, of which these barriers form a part, remains under review.
