Proceeding contribution from Angus Robertson (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on CSR and Aircraft Carriers.
CSR and Aircraft Carriers
It is a fact that there are fewer shipbuilding jobs in Scotland now than there were in 1997. It is therefore welcome to hear today’s announcement on the carriers and the news that Scotland’s only operating naval base is to be retained. However, is the Secretary of State aware of concerns about job retention on the Clyde in relation to the MARS—military afloat reach and sustainability—project? Seeing as we are talking about timescales two days before the recess, will he confirm that he now expects the board of inquiry into the Afghan Nimrod tragedy to take place during the recess? ... What about the questions?
