European Council and Nuclear Security Summit

John Bercow Excerpts

Wednesday 26th March 2014 Commons Chamber

[The Prime Minister]

I can confirm that. Yesterday I went to see the Siemens investment, and the extraordinary scale of development, for myself. An entire port area is being cleared out and extended to take two enormous factories, including one that will make the turbine blades. The development is at a port because it is not just for the offshore wind market in the UK; there will be a real opportunity for export as well. That is what the investment is all about. It will provide 1,000 jobs, but much more than that, it will bring a whole new industry to Humberside and Hull because of the massive opportunity for the supply and component part of the industry to locate in that area.

[Mr Speaker]

I thank the Prime Minister and colleagues.
