Text

I thank the Minister for his answer. Figures acquired from his Department show that no new jobs have been created from foreign direct investment in the Ards and North Down Council area since 2020. Does the Minister think that that is acceptable, and will he explain to my constituents why his Department's new subregional economic plan includes a commitment to move investment outside the Belfast metropolitan area, which includes my constituency, despite figures showing that it is not currently receiving the benefit of Invest NI's work?
