Text

I thank the Minister for her answer. I note what she said about local councils working with the Department and about 65% of investment outside of Belfast. How will the Minister ensure that regional rebalancing serves the people of North Belfast, whom I represent, and West Belfast, for whom economic opportunity is so vital, given that those areas suffer the worst economic and health outcomes in Northern Ireland?
