The Northern Ireland Office closely follows developments at Bombardier, as a key player and employer in the local economy. The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland spoke with the Chief Operating Officer at Bombardier, Michael Ryan, on Friday 12 June 2020 to discuss the impact of the restructuring that was announced at the company last week. Prior to this, the Secretary of State spoke with Bombardier’s Director, Nick Laird on 16 April 2020 to discuss future projects for the aerospace sector. NIO officials and those at the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) have engaged with the company on a number of occasions.
Whilst we have not engaged with the trade union representatives at Bombardier, I am aware that there has been engagement with the Northern Ireland Executive, who are responsible for business support in Northern Ireland.
The UK Government wants to see Northern Ireland not only recover but also prosper. In addition to the unprecedented package of measures to protect businesses and employees through this period of disruption, we must ensure that we attract inward investment, protect the local skilled manufacturing workforce and work with the Executive to ensure our economic plans for Northern Ireland align.

The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland spoke with the Chief Operating Officer at Bombardier last week, where he discussed the current position of the company and the particular impact of COVID-19 on the aerospace sector, which, in this case, has resulted in the company making a commercial decision to restructure their workforce.
I was saddened to hear of the job losses which have been announced. I understand the company will continue to work with the trade unions to explore opportunities to mitigate the number of redundancies, including potential retraining and redeployment of members of the core workforce.
The UK Government has set out a package of measures to protect businesses and employees through this period of disruption caused by COVID-19, including to the aerospace sector.

NIO Ministers regularly discuss with Cabinet colleagues the support that the UK Government can and is providing to the Northern Ireland economy, including with the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Secretary of State for Transport. In this case, support for business is devolved and we will continue to engage with Ministers in the NI Executive on how UKG can best support the Executive in our shared goal of seeing the Northern Ireland economy thrive.
We will continue these discussions as we work to get things back up and running and laying the foundations for a stable and sustainable recovery for Northern Ireland, including for the aerospace sector.
