Text
The Member will be well aware of my position on the funding of the British Government's militarisation agenda in favour of public services, infrastructure and things that would be beneficial to the population. The Member will also be well aware that advanced manufacturing and engineering is one of the priority sectors of our economy and, accordingly, attracts support from the Department and Invest NI. There are other initiatives that are funded and supported by the British Government that businesses here have the opportunity to avail themselves of directly by engaging with the British Government.
