Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what support they are providing for the development of the maritime sector in respect of ship building or repair in Cornwall to service offshore or transport requirements.

The refreshed National Shipbuilding Strategy, to be published later this year, will set out how this Government will support the entire UK shipbuilding enterprise. The scope of this strategy has been broadened from the previous naval-focussed 2017 strategy, to set the conditions for success across the entire shipbuilding enterprise, including repair.
