Following on from Sir John Parker's trade union engagement prior to publishing his independent report, we have continued to keep the trade unions involved. Representatives from the Confederation of Shipbuilding and Engineering Unions (CSEU) and GMB have attended Industry stakeholder events in relation to the National Shipbuilding Strategy. We also undertook a briefing on the strategy followed by a question and answer session at the CSEU Maritime Forum on 13 February 2017. We will continue to engage with the trade unions as we implement the strategy.
