Proceeding contribution from Michael Jack (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 December 2005. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Defence Industrial Strategy.
Defence Industrial Strategy
May I welcome the Secretary of State’s involvement of BAE Systems in my constituency—employing some 6,000 aerospace workers—in the production of this strategy and his recognition of the strategic importance of our military aerospace industry? Can he give more comfort to the House on how he may secure the final assembly and check out unit to be based at Warton to look after and construct the joint strike fighter? Does he agree that in those negotiations it will be important to demonstrate to the United States that if they do not play ball, we have an alternative way of providing a marine aircraft for the new carriers? How will he conduct those negotiations?
