Debate between Richard Tice and Al Carns

Monday 6th January 2025 Commons Chamber

[Al Carns]

The essential role played by women throughout both major wars in delivering an industrial powerhouse to support our armed forces is not lost on the Government. I am happy to take this matter offline and discuss it in due course.

[Richard Tice (Boston and Skegness) (Reform)]

Will the Secretary of State give a commitment that, unlike the previous Conservative Government, this Labour Government will buy British, including British Steel?
