Speaking afterwards Mr Robinson said, “This was a useful opportunity to press the Secretary of State on the issues facing not just Northern Ireland, but the United Kingdom as a whole. The Prime Minister is right to state that he will act in the national interest, but that must mean the interests of all parts of the UK, including Northern Ireland.
The Secretary of State must be Northern Ireland’s voice within our national government and ensure steps are taken to protect businesses here, the local economy and the wider interests of Northern Ireland.”
