Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Luke Pollard and Sarah Pochin

Monday 8th September 2025 Commons Chamber

[Luke Pollard]

My hon. Friend is simply prolific in the areas in which she is seeking to improve defence, and I would be very happy to meet her to discuss this further. There will be an announcement on skills in the defence industrial strategy that is coming out this afternoon. There is a real opportunity to expand this work, not just in defence technical education colleges, but in institutions nationwide.

[Sarah Pochin (Runcorn and Helsby) (Reform)]
