Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to help secure orders for the UK's shipbuilding supply chain.
The National Shipbuilding Office regularly engages with UK shipbuilding supply chain companies to understand their issues and works with project teams across Government to maximise opportunities wherever possible. In Defence, the Royal Navy fleet provides a range of opportunities for the UK shipbuilding supply chain, for example in advanced technology, navigation and weapons systems.
