Ulster Unionist MP Robin Swann has welcomed a major defence investment, saying it reflects Northern Ireland’s strategic value to the United Kingdom’s national security. Swann, who raised the issue directly with Defence Secretary John Healey MP, pointed to the region’s engineering expertise and capacity to contribute to UK defence.

Robin Swann MP said:

“This investment is a vital commitment to Northern Ireland’s role in our national security. During my discussions with Defence Secretary John Healey MP, I championed our world-class engineering expertise and our strategic capacity to support the United Kingdom’s defence.

“We live in a time of growing global instability where threats are continually evolving. Having a robust defence must be a national priority.

“This investment will be a major boost for our local economy by driving high-skilled job creation and integrating our innovative small businesses into the UK defence supply chain and that is warmly welcomed.”

The passing of the To***co and Vapes Bill is key to having a Smoke Free Generation. I am very pleased this will apply to Northern Ireland and it has been a priority for me since my time as Health Minister, and I have spoken in favour in the Commons.
