Aircraft Carriers
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what estimate has been made of the number of (a) direct and (b) indirect jobs in the supply chain which would be created as a result of the construction of the two proposed new aircraft carriers; what information his Department holds on the number of such jobs which would be created in each constituency; and if he will make a statement.
- Answer
-
It is anticipated that work on the Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers will create or sustain between 7-8000 jobs at the Tier 1 shipyards in Glasgow, Rosyth, Portsmouth and Devon. We do not hold information relating to the number of indirect jobs or the breakdown of jobs in each constituency. Throughout the supply chain we expect companies to employ local people thereby boosting local economies across the UK.
