Jim Shannon

Democratic Unionist Party — Strangford

Speaking in the House of Commons on 6 February 2025

Debate

Manufacturing and Engineering (Northern Ireland)

Contribution

I suppose the thrust of all the good things—we do not deny them but welcome them because they are good things—is to have the sale as one entity. On behalf of the workers, I especially ask the Minister to commit to looking at what more can be done for the Spirit workers. They are skilled, they are experienced and they are critical to Northern Ireland’s manufacturing base. That is my request to the Minister: to sell it as one entity and keep the workers.
