Proceeding contribution from Neil Turner (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 welcome the announcement to build the two carriers. They will be vital to the Royal Navy’s ability to operate independently, if necessary, throughout the world. My right hon. Friend will be aware of the importance of the Barrow shipyard not just to south Cumbria, but to the whole of the north-west. Will he therefore confirm that a substantial proportion of the two carriers will be built at the Barrow shipyard?
