Dockyards: Construction

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Coaker on 4 June (HL312), what assessment they have made of the number of apprenticeships that will be created in Scotland and the north-east of England under Programme Euston.

Answer

Programme Euston will be one of the most significant and sustained Government investments in Scotland over the coming decades. Employment and training in the local area will rise and the investment will drive regional economic skills and social/environmental benefits further afield.

The commercial approach for the delivery of the dock and shoreside elements of Programme Euston will be finalised as part of the investment decision to be outlined following the publication of the Defence Investment Plan. The actual number of UK-based jobs and apprenticeships that will be created as a result of the Programme can only be assessed following completion of the procurement process.
