Proceeding contribution from Mike Weir (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 9 July 2009. It occurred during Topical debate on UK Manufacturing.
UK Manufacturing
The Minister is talking about the new industries in manufacturing, which is very good, but he seemed to dismiss the older ones. However, there is an opportunity for many such industries—shipbuilding and metal beating, for example—in that their products can be used for the new green industries, particularly for offshore wind, for instance. So will the Minister not dismiss them so lightly?
