Part of the debate – in the Northern Ireland Assembly at 1:00 pm on 5 March 2001.
I know that the Minister is aware of the very long campaign fought for natural gas in the north and north-west of the Province, by the local authorities there. The Minister and his Department have worked extremely hard to make this a reality. However, can the Minister indicate to the House the timescale he envisages as necessary for natural gas actually to get there?
Can he give the House a realistic timescale on natural gas coming to the north and north-west of the Province?
