Jim Shannon

Democratic Unionist Party — Strangford

Speaking in the House of Commons on 10 February 2025

Debate

Community and Third Sector Organisations: Employment

Contribution

I spoke to the hon. Lady before the debate, and I commend her initiative. Her constituents can feel immensely proud of her efforts. Scrabo residents’ group has done something similar in an area of disadvantage in my constituency where people do not have opportunities. The group has provided jobs in security and HGV driving, for example. These people previously had no job, and now they have opportunities for employment. A community initiative has made this happen.
