Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what plans he has to update the National Shipbuilding Strategy to incorporate commercial shipbuilding and supply chain considerations.
In my role as Shipbuilding Tsar, I am working with my colleagues across Government to deliver on our vision to create a thriving shipbuilding enterprise, including both naval and commercial shipbuilders and their supply chains. Any update to the National Shipbuilding Strategy would also build upon the ongoing review of our defence and security industrial strategy.
