Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Stuart Andrew and Angela Crawley

Wednesday 11th July 2018 Commons Chamber

[Stuart Andrew]

Our Scottish Conservative MPs work day in, day out, not just for their constituencies, but for Scotland as a whole, and I am very proud of the work they do—they really are a formidable team. Last year, we unveiled an ambitious new national shipbuilding strategy, which met the challenge set by the independent Sir John Parker, who said:

“I am very impressed by the courage that the Secretary of State has shown—and the Government—in adopting my recommendations, which were very extensive”.

That shows that we are behind the shipbuilding industry.

[Angela Crawley (Lanark and Hamilton East) (SNP)]
