Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what estimate he has made of the number of jobs in Warrington in the supply chain for BAE Systems.
BAE Systems supply chain is spread across the UK and overseas. We are working with BAE Systems to understand the potential impacts of their 10th October announcement on their direct employees and those in the supply chain. Any employees affected will be offered advice and support by the Department of Work and Pensions’ Rapid Response Service.
