Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Maria Eagle and Douglas McAllister

Monday 6th January 2025 Commons Chamber

[Douglas McAllister (West Dunbartonshire) (Lab)]

The naval base at Faslane and companies such as BAE Systems support thousands of jobs in my constituency. Does the Minister agree that we need to grow an integrated, innovative and resilient defence sector that will address problems such as skills shortages and the need for strategic long-term partnerships?

[Maria Eagle]

Yes.
