Speaking in the House of Commons on 26 October 2026

Debate

Securing Scotland’s Future: Defence Skills and Jobs

Contribution

I absolutely agree with the hon. Lady. We are very grateful that the DTECs are going to happen—all credit to both Governments for working together on that—but apprenticeships will also come through our further education colleges, and it is important that they are given the resources to benefit from jobs not only in the defence sector but, for example, in clean energy, which our Committee has heard so much about.
