Northern Ireland Budget (Anticipation and Adjustments) Bill

It is good that we, as the country that I think drinks the most tea per head of population, are now exporting coffee, and to the largest market in the world.

We are going to have an influx of golf tourists coming to Northern Ireland for the Irish Open, and indeed the open in 2019. The organisation—the Royal and Ancient—but more importantly the golf clubs in Northern Ireland, in particular Royal Portrush golf club, in the constituency of my hon. Friend the Member for East Londonderry (Mr Campbell), will need certainty about the finance for them and for those tournaments. Will the Minister of State ensure immediately, so that there is no delay, that those organisations get certainty and clarity about financial expenditure for golf tourism? This is going to be the single largest shop window for Northern Ireland—a very positive shop window—and the expenditure therefore needs to be properly underwritten by the Government.
