Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Luke Pollard and James Wild

Monday 1st June 2026 Commons Chamber

[Luke Pollard]

We are proud to support Typhoon, and I was proud to be in my hon. Friend’s constituency to unveil the defence technical excellence college. In her constituency there are some brilliant students undertaking amazing training that will give them the skills to work in BAE Systems producing Typhoons for our allies, and potentially other craft in the future. We will continue to support Lancashire and its aerospace sector.

[James Wild (North West Norfolk) (Con)]
