Hilary Benn

Labour — Leeds South

Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 January 2025

Debate

Harland and Wolff

Contribution

I welcome the industry-led deal that will see Navantia UK purchase Harland and Wolff’s four shipyards in the UK, including that in Belfast. The Government have worked closely with Navantia UK to secure the future of the yards, the fleet solid support ship programme, and around 1,000 jobs across the UK.
