Hilary Benn

Labour — Leeds South

Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 April 2025

Debate

UK Industrial Strategy

Contribution

Northern Ireland does indeed have a great industrial heritage. Titanic Studios, for example, had been the paint shed for Harland and Wolff, and now it hosts a lot of film making. Another example is the revival of Harland and Wolff, which, thanks to the takeover by Navantia, will now be building the Navy’s three new fleet solid support ships. Those are two good examples of Northern Ireland’s strength.
