Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

What steps the Government is taking to support the recovery of the Northern Ireland economy after the covid-19 outbreak.

Businesses in Northern Ireland have always exhibited tremendous resilience and ability to bounce back from adversity.

This Government has stood by the people of Northern Ireland, providing support for Northern Ireland businesses and employees throughout the pandemic with an unprecedented series of grants, loans and support schemes. We remain committed to enabling them, and the wider economy, to thrive and grow as we emerge from the lockdown.

We look forward to working with the Executive and local partners to unleash Northern Ireland’s potential by driving innovation and connecting Northern Ireland with opportunities through our new trading relationships.
