Oral Answers to Questions

Michael Fabricant Excerpts

Thursday 1st November 2018 Commons Chamber

[Michael Ellis]

Northern Ireland will certainly not be left behind. I was delighted to visit Belfast only a few weeks ago, when I saw its wonderful tourism offer, including the Titanic exhibition and so much else. I would recommend visiting Northern Ireland to anyone, as there are wonderful tourism opportunities—“Game of Thrones” is filmed there, and there is so much else.

[Michael Fabricant (Lichfield) (Con)]

Steve Ridgway of VisitBritain, along with Anthony Pickles, together with airlines, hotels and all the rest of it, have pulled together a sector deal. I do not want to bore the House because I have raised this before, but when are the Government going to support it?

[Michael Ellis]

My Department is working very hard on that matter. We have been pursuing it and we continue to do so.

--- Later in debate ---

[The Attorney General]

I am not able to give the hon. Gentleman that detail. It is not my sphere of ministerial responsibility. Much as I would like to answer for every aspect and part of the Government, I cannot answer that question, but if he wishes an answer, I will write to him about it.

[Michael Fabricant (Lichfield) (Con)]

Chris Bryant should resign.

[Mr Speaker]

Order. The hon. Member for Rhondda (Chris Bryant) is not being asked by anybody else to resign. That is not going to happen.
