National Shipbuilding Strategy

The following is an extract from the Westminster Hall debate on the National Shipbuilding Strategy on 11 July 2019.

All of our vision is for a shipbuilding sector that does not need a contract for a couple of non-complex warships; it could also work in the civil sector.

[Official Report, 11 July 2019, Vol. 663, c. 222WH.]

Letter of correction from the Under-Secretary of State for Defence, the hon. Member for Pudsey (Stuart Andrew):

An error has been identified in my response to the debate.

The correct wording should have been:

All of our vision is for a shipbuilding sector that does not need a contract for a couple of non-complex ships; it could also work in the civil sector.
