Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Gavin Williamson and Stephen Metcalfe

Monday 9th July 2018 Commons Chamber

[Stephen Metcalfe (South Basildon and East Thurrock) (Con)]

I thank my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for his personal support for the Year of Engineering and for all his Department is doing to create inspirational and exciting experiences that demonstrate what it is to be an engineer in the military. Will he pass on my thanks to all those involved in making that happen?

[Gavin Williamson]

I most certainly will. We celebrate 100 years of the Royal Air Force, which plays a key part in driving technological development and inspiring so many young people to enter a career in engineering. Seeing amazing aeroplanes designed and flown is an inspiration for many future generations.
