Proceeding contribution from Baroness May of Maidenhead (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 18 July 2016. It occurred during Debate on UK's Nuclear Deterrent.


UK's Nuclear Deterrent

My hon. Friend makes a very important point. Some constituencies—obviously, Morecambe and Lunesdale, and Barrow and Furness—are particularly affected by this, but as I have just said, there are jobs across about 350 constituencies in this country that are related to this industry. If we were not going to renew our nuclear deterrent, those people would of course be at risk of losing their jobs as a result.
