Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Darren Jones and Mary Glindon

Tuesday 4th March 2025 Commons Chamber

[Darren Jones]

I find it odd that Members on the Conservative Benches do not welcome an additional £7 billion of investment into our economy; it is rather a testament to their poor performance on investment over many years in government. To answer the hon. Gentleman’s specific questions, I can confirm that each of the business cases for Grangemouth will have to go through the normal process for sign off, and that John Flint leaving the National Wealth Fund is not in any way connected to the decisions taken by this Government. We look forward to appointing his successor in due course.

[Mary Glindon (Newcastle upon Tyne East and Wallsend) (Lab)]
