Proceeding contribution from Lord Dixon (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 25 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Defence: Spending Review and Aircraft Carriers.
Defence: Spending Review and Aircraft Carriers
My Lords, having served my time as a shipwright and having worked in the shipbuilding industry for 36 years, I assure my noble friend that the much delayed decision about the aircraft carriers will be welcomed in the shipbuilding industry as a whole. Can he confirm that shipyards in the Tyne and Tees area will be able to tender for some of the fabricated work for those two boats?
