Proceeding contribution from Alasdair McDonnell (Social Democratic & Labour Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 February 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Trade and Investment for Growth White Paper.


Trade and Investment for Growth White Paper

Is the Secretary of State aware that SMEs and exports are the lifeblood of the Northern Ireland economy? Can he tell us whether he has had any discussions with the devolved Governments and the regions? Will there be easy access for companies? We have had a particular difficulty in the past with exports from the food and meat industries. There is also a need to deal with cross-border trade with the Irish Republic, which could be boosted considerably. Will he pay special attention to those issues?
