As my right hon. Friend is not here, perhaps I can volunteer him for a visit to Weaver Vale.
Jim Shannon (Strangford) (DUP)
The favourable exchange rates mean that many people from the United States are visiting the Republic of Ireland for their holidays. What discussions has the Minister had with the Minister for the Economy in Northern Ireland to ensure that they also come north to Northern Ireland and across to the mainland?
