Labour (Co-op) — Plymouth Sutton and Devonport

Speaking in the House of Commons on 29 October 2025

Debate

UK-Türkiye Typhoon Export Deal

Contribution

I suspect that I will need to meet my hon. Friend to get to the bottom of that question, but I am very happy to do so. As a nation, we certainly welcome the investment of overseas firms in the UK. The UK is a good place to invest in defence and to start a defence company. We need to make sure that all our contracts, big and small, return the value to the taxpayer. It is our intention that, where possible, intellectual property and profits should be held in the UK to support our growth mission. I am happy to meet him to discuss that further.
