Royal Naval Armaments Depot Llangennech
As I said earlier, my hon. Friend has been extremely active in defending the aspirations of the local community. I know that she will take the matter up with the Defence Minister responsible for such matters, and we in the Wales Office will be sure to support her in her objective.

Royal Naval Armaments Depot Llangennech
MOD Llangennech—locally known as the RN—has been an integral part of the community for several generations. What assurance can my right hon. Friend give that if the MOD leaves Llangennech and the site is disposed of, full consideration will be given to making part of it a community facility, as well as providing the maximum possible support for those who may lose their jobs after many years of loyal service?

Can the Secretary of State explain why, when central Government Departments such as the Ministry of Defence—or, indeed, Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs and the Treasury—cut jobs, they cut them in places like Carmarthenshire or Pembrokeshire, which need them most, whereas when they create jobs they create them outside the convergence fund region, in the places that need them least? Is it not about time that the Government had a policy for west Wales, and indeed for all Wales, so that jobs can be created throughout the nation?

I agree that we should be creating jobs throughout the nation, and in fact we are doing so. As the hon. Gentleman will know, in west Wales and the valleys—he represents a valleys constituency, as I do—unemployment has fallen and more jobs have been created. The Llangennech example is part of a restructuring of the Ministry of Defence, and we are working with all concerned. My hon. Friend the Member for Llanelli (Nia Griffith) has visited the site, and the local Assembly Member, Catherine Thomas, is involved with the unions and work force. I do not accept the hon. Gentleman’s analysis. What would really hit jobs in Wales would be any chance of Plaid Cymru’s bankrupt economic policies holding sway there.

MOD Llangennech

I have asked for this debate because there is still a good deal of confusion about exactly what is happening at MOD Llangennech, and staff at Llangennech have a number of concerns. First, we need to understand that there are several different sections at Llangennech: forms and publications, commodity management;...

Employment Levels
Employment levels have improved dramatically since 1997 in my constituency thanks to the Labour Government, but some Gower people who work over the border in Llanelli at the MOD establishment at Llangennech face losing their jobs, along with the constituents of my hon. Friend the Member for Llanelli (Nia Griffith), whom I commend on her work defending those jobs. Despite an excellent performance record, the facility is threatened by a proposal that will reduce the quality of service to our armed services, that will fail to achieve the predicted savings and that will inevitably undermine the local economy. Will my right hon. Friend press his colleagues in the Ministry of Defence to think again?

Armed Forces (Modernisation)

It is with dismay and incomprehension that I find myself asking the Minister to explain why we are facing job losses at Llangennech, where up-to-date, state-of-the-art equipment has recently been installed. Although unemployment levels have come down rapidly in that area in recent years, it is still very much harder...
