Written question asked by Lord Laird (Crossbench), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Rooker (Labour) on Tuesday, 21 March 2006.


Planning: Craigavon

Question
Whether the Craigavon Planning Division of the Northern Ireland Department of the Environment received any representations from Sinn Fein councillors from Newry and Mourne District Council concerning industry or business-related planning issues; and, if so, how many representations were received in each of the past five years.
Answer

It is not possible to provide the information requested. Although the Planning Service keeps a record of representations made on applications, it is not recorded in a format that can easily identify party associations. Although it would be possible to extract the information, it would be at a disproportionate cost as it would involve the manual examination of approximately 14,000 files.
