What are the opportunities and barriers to economic growth in Northern Ireland? MPs hold first oral evidence session
The Northern Ireland Affairs Committee will hold the first session of its inquiry into economic growth in Northern Ireland on Wednesday 19 November.
The inquiry is examining what more can be done to ensure that all parts of NI benefit from economic growth and the important role that new and emerging industries can play in driving future prosperity.
In this first session, MPs will hear from leaders of organisations pursuing economic growth on the barriers and opportunities to future prosperity.
Meeting details
The Committee will likely ask witnesses about their assessment of the UK Government’s industrial strategy and whether it meets NI’s specific needs.
Other possible areas of questioning include how the NI Executive and UK Government can work together to tackle economic challenges, and how innovation in NI can be boosted.
