I travelled to Belfast today to attend the Royal Irish Regiment’s remembrance service at Belfast Cathedral representing the UK Government.
After the service it was good to speak with the Deputy First Minister about defence being an engine for growth in Northern Ireland too.

Today the second phase of Armada Way opens today.
For me, this project isn’t just about nicer pavements.
It’s all about being the catalyst for the regeneration of the city centre with 10,000 new homes, a new health village and getting the buzz back into the city centre.

This week I visited Bolton to announce a new £118m contract to double the UK’s deployable Sky Sabre air defence systems.
This investment will protect our armed forces and the UK homeland, support 140 jobs, and reinforces Defence spending as an engine for growth. 🇬🇧
