Written Question
Economic Situation: Northern Ireland
Monday 20th March 2017

Asked by: Peter Bone (Independent - Wellingborough)

Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what assessment he has made of the potential effect on the Northern Ireland economy of the UK leaving the EU.

Answered by Kris Hopkins

The Secretary of State and I are fully committed to ensuring that as we establish our negotiating position, the unique interests of Northern Ireland are protected and advanced. We are going to make the most of the opportunities that our departure presents to Northern Ireland – getting out into the world and doing business right across the globe, while at home building a UK that works for everyone.

We will make a success of our exit from the EU for the whole of the UK including Northern Ireland, which remains a great place for businesses to invest. The fundamentals of the UK economy are strong and will continue to be strong as we negotiate our departure from the EU.

Written Question
Business: Northern Ireland
Monday 30th January 2017

Asked by: Peter Bone (Independent - Wellingborough)

Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what recent meetings he has had with businesses in Northern Ireland to discuss the UK's exit from the EU.

Answered by James Brokenshire

Through my Business Advisory Group that I established in September, I and my Ministerial colleagues have had regular meetings with businesses in Northern Ireland. The Group brings together representatives from a broad range of sectors, to discuss a range of economic issues, including the impact and opportunities of the UK’s exit from the European Union. I will continue to meet businesses to ensure that their views are reflected in the process of exiting the European Union, so that we build a strong and prosperous economy in Northern Ireland that works for everyone.
