Greg Smith

Conservative — Mid Buckinghamshire

Speaking in the House of Commons on 18 March 2025

Debate

Shipyards: Economic Growth

Contribution

I am grateful to the hon. Lady for that intervention, and it is absolutely good news that Harland and Wolff has survived, but throughout the entire summer, not long after the new Government were elected to office, there were constant asks for financial support that were not forthcoming. It took a very long time. This is fundamentally a debate, but I would gently suggest that the saving of Harland and Wolff—which I reiterate is good news—happened in many respects despite the early actions of the new Government and not because of them.
