Blair McDougall

Labour — East Renfrewshire

Speaking in the House of Commons on 30 October 2025

Debate

Industrial Strategy

Contribution

As I said to the hon. Member for South Antrim (Robin Swann) a moment ago, we have already met with the Northern Ireland Executive on these issues. Skills are an essential part of the industrial strategy because we see, again and again, industries around the country that are desperate to grow, and have the orders, but are unable to create the high-paying jobs that we need. That is an absolute priority for us as we implement the industrial strategy.
