Proceeding contribution from John P Smith (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 28 February 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Welsh Affairs.


Welsh Affairs

Absolutely not. That is why I wanted to make this point today. It is important that we in Wales know exactly where we stand. There is no package 2 because there is no group of skills—personnel management, logistics, languages, photography, policing, intelligence—in a package going out to tender for a PFI. But—and it is a big but—all those skills are going to be rationalised. That was made absolutely clear in a written statement made on 31 January. My point is a simple one. The process will take longer, and the hon. Lady is right in that respect, but there is no reason why that work, or the lion's share of it, should not be located at St. Athan. In fact, there are not many other places that the work could go to.
