Tuesday 21st July 2020 Commons Chamber

[Gavin Robinson (Belfast East) (DUP)]

What support he plans to provide to the aerospace sector.

[Jane Stevenson (Wolverhampton North East) (Con)]

What support his Department is providing to the aerospace sector during the covid-19 outbreak.

[The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (Nadhim Zahawi)]

This is the last Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy questions before recess and I want to place on record my thanks to you, Mr Speaker, and your staff for the incredible way that they have managed proceedings in the House.

It is Farnborough week and the Government are providing the aerospace industry and its aviation customers with more than £8.5 billion of support, including through UK Export Finance, the covid corporate financing facility, research grants and the job retention scheme. We are discussing further help with the sector.
