Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what plans he has for oversight and implementation of recommendations made by the UK Shipbuilding Skills Taskforce once it concludes its work in December 2023.
The UK Shipbuilding Skills Taskforce is currently preparing an independent report that will set out its recommendations to address shipbuilding skills shortages. The report will include a proposal on the structures required to implement the Taskforce's recommendations and how work should continue at local, regional and national levels in future.
