Labour (Co-op) — Plymouth Sutton and Devonport

Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 June 2026

Debate

Defence Investment Plan

Contribution

The hon. Lady is right to argue that we need more investment in our steel industry. That is why the defence industrial strategy identified steel as one of the sectors we need to invest in more. It is also why, under this Government, we are seeing more investment in, for example, Sheffield Forgemasters, which has a specialist steelmaking capability that we use in certain parts of defence. I am very happy if she wants to write to me on the particular issue she raises.
