Text

I thank the Minister for her answer. Wrightbus is the largest employer in my constituency and is in the top 10 employers in Northern Ireland. It is ahead of its field in research and development by some margin. Will the Minister commit to applying pressure on the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland to make sure that nothing in the UK unfairly disadvantages Wrightbus compared with its domestic competitors? If I write to the Minister, will she visit Wrightbus to hear first hand from the CEO?
