I have regular conversations with maritime industry partners in my capacity as Shipbuilding Tsar as this Government works to reinvigorate the UK's shipbuilding industry.

Additionally, COVID restrictions not withstanding, I intend to visit a cross-section of the UK shipbuilding sector to discuss how best this Government can work alongside industry partners to deliver our ambitions for an innovative, competititve and thriving enterprise.

Through the Maritime Enterprise Working Group, industry have been working with academia and Government to take forward work to ensure the competitiveness of the sector and set out proposals for how this Government can provide additional support to the shipbuilding enterprise.
