Proceeding contribution from Lord Beamish (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 warmly welcome the announcement of the carriers today. It is good news not only for the Navy and the shipbuilding industry, but for the defence industry. The announcement will also be good news in the north-east, as a lot of small and medium-sized enterprises will get work from the contract. I urge my right hon. Friend to ask the consortium to work with non-defence industries and other organisations that help SMEs to get work in the supply chain, so that the maximum economic impact of the orders is spread throughout the United Kingdom.
