Vernon Coaker – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Northern Ireland Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Vernon Coaker on 2016-02-19.

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what plans she has to encourage foreign direct investment in Northern Ireland.

Mrs Theresa Villiers

The Government continues to work with the Northern Ireland Executive to encourage foreign direct investment with UKTI working in collaboration with Invest NI. Northern Ireland remains one of the most attractive UK regions for inward investment outside of London and the potential devolution of Corporation Tax powers could boost this further.
