Text
The energy — sorry, I am back at the previous question. The land strategy that has been developed by Invest NI will be significant in supporting regional balance, because, if we are to encourage development and growth across all areas in the North, we need to ensure that land is available on which to do that. Last week or the week before — certainly, within the past fortnight — I met Invest NI to talk about the strategy and how it will be rolled out across the North. Invest NI is recruiting people with land agency experience and will put them into regional offices to work with local people, such as those in the Causeway coast and glens area and the East Derry constituency, to identify other land that may be available, useful or needed. That will ensure that there is a presence on the ground and close to people, so that they can get the best local economic advice. The local economic partnerships will turn their attention to that and ensure that, as they promote economic development in each area, the facilities are there to encourage greater growth in that area.
