 Audio interview with Brian Faulkner, Northern Ireland Minister of Commerce, for ITN on 1 January 1966. With the rise of air travel in the 1960s demand for ocean liners declined creating financial difficulties for the UK shipping industry. In this context the Northern Ireland administration offered Harland and Wolff a financial stimulus in the mid-1960s to maintain its viability. Faulkner outlines the economic and social necessity in Northern Ireland for this financial package.
