asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, in view of the dangerous state of the approach road from Templepatrick to Aldergrove Airport, if he will take immediate action to improve its temporary surfacing.

Every effort is being made by the Department of the Environment for Northern Ireland Roads Service to ensure that the temporary surfacing necessary during the present stages of the major realignment works on the road is kept in the best condition possible in the circumstances. It is hoped, however, to have a macadam base course laid on the lengths in question within the next two weeks.
