Proceeding contribution from Guto Bebb (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 July 2018. It occurred during Opposition day on Defence Industry and Shipbuilding.
Defence Industry and Shipbuilding
The key thing, as my hon. Friend the Member for Torbay said, is that when Opposition Members talk about threats to the south Wales steel industry as a result of the “America first” policy, they are quite happy to attack Donald Trump for his protectionist attitude. The same thing can apply to this debate in spades, I am afraid. Competition and the ability to compete internationally are based not on protectionism but on the ability to be open in the way that we deal with this issue.
