Mr Douglas Alexander

Labour (Co-op) — Lothian East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 26 November 2025

Debate

Defence Sector: Skills and Training

Contribution

The UK Government are transforming our defence sector into an even more powerful engine of growth, with skills and training being a central pillar of the strategy. If the SNP-led Scottish Government will not do the right thing, we will. That is why we stepped up with £2.5 million to fund a specialist welding centre in Glasgow, and we continue to work on exactly that agenda.
