Statement by Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, the Rt Hon Theresa Villiers MP:

This is bitterly disappointing news for the employees of Bombardier Belfast and their families. Bombardier is a major employer and these job losses will be keenly felt. I am in urgent contact with the UK Business Minister and NI’s Enterprise Minister Jonathan Bell over what immediate support might be available.
