Labour (Co-op) — Plymouth Sutton and Devonport

Speaking in the House of Commons on 8 September 2025

Debate

Defence Industrial Strategy

Contribution

The hon. Gentleman is exactly right. For instance, the work that ADS is doing on its new curriculum is really interesting and exciting. There is a real opportunity to go after the skills challenges nationwide. In order to give the men and women in our armed forces the kit they need and to export to our allies, we need to invest more in skills. It is something in which this nation has under-invested for far too long. That changes with the defence industrial strategy today.
