Proceeding contribution from Adam Ingram (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on CSR and Aircraft Carriers.

CSR and Aircraft Carriers

I thank my right hon. Friend for his statement, which will be well received in the Royal Navy, particularly with regard to the aircraft carriers. It will be well received across the armed forces generally, and there is no question in my mind but that it will be well received in industry, particularly the shipbuilding industry. May I remind my right hon. Friend of the old saying that it was tears that made the Clyde? There will be cheers on the Clyde today following this announcement.
