Jim Shannon

Democratic Unionist Party — Strangford

Speaking in the House of Commons on 16 June 2026

Debate

Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill

Contribution

It is about our security, our cyber-security and our resilience. Within a three-mile radius of Belfast, we have some of the best cyber-security resilience in the whole of the United Kingdom. It is about those 2,750 employees and the £258 million of direct gross value added. Does the hon. Lady recognise that powerhouses like Belfast must be fully integrated into our national cyber strategy? Will she put on the record that that is what we should be aiming for?
