The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps his Department is taking to support the shipbuilding industry.

Answered by Sarah Jones

The Government is committed to delivering a thriving shipbuilding sector across the UK, supporting the whole supply chain, from design to repair, systems and integration.

My Department, working alongside other Government Departments, is supporting a 30-year pipeline of shipbuilding projects, promoting UK export and investment at a wide range of international tradeshows and missions throughout the year.

Our long term industrial strategy will support sectors like shipbuilding by offering the certainty needed to attract investment.
