Oral Answers to Questions

Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh Excerpts

Thursday 1st December 2016 Commons Chamber

[Mr Jones]

Yes. We fully acknowledge the importance of the aerospace sector, which is a major employer in his constituency and in many other parts of the country. It is very clear to us that, for example, integrated supply chains are important to that industry, which is why we are engaging extremely closely with the industry. Indeed, I had meetings earlier this week.

[Ms Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh (Ochil and South Perthshire) (SNP)]

[Mr Jones]

The matter of what powers reside where after we leave the European Union remains to be considered.
