Proceeding contribution from Lindsay Hoyle (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 April 2009. It occurred during Debate on Defence Procurement.


Defence Procurement

May I inform my right hon. Friend how important tranche 3 is not only as regards jobs and skills in the north-west but to the RAF, too? It is a crucial, world-beating aircraft and we are sending out a clear message around the world that says, "We believe in this aircraft; come along and buy it." What is he doing to ensure that those export orders are coming on board to ensure that the skills will remain in the north-west?
