Heathrow Airport: Northern Ireland
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will make an estimate of the number of private sector jobs that would be created in Northern Ireland as a result of a successful bid from Northern Ireland under the Heathrow Logistics Hub bidding process.
- Answer
-
The Government welcomes Heathrow's logistics hubs initiative, for which a number of sites in Northern Ireland have been longlisted as potential locations.
The number of jobs created at any particular hub will be a question for Heathrow, subject to its ongoing procurement exercise. Heathrow plans to announce a shortlist of locations in the spring before selecting four final locations later this year.
In the meantime, Hon Members may wish to engage directly with the promoters of the potential logistics hubs sites in Northern Ireland to explore their proposals further.
