The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps he is taking to increase inward investment in Northern Ireland.

Answered by Sarah Jones

My department is working in partnership with Invest Northern Ireland through DBT’s Trade and Investment hub in Belfast and its wider global network to showcase NI as a location for investment.

We are focused on driving investment into all parts of the UK, including through our forthcoming International Investment Summit in October 2024.
