Defence: Employment
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to support jobs in the defence sector.
Answered by Maria Eagle
Defence is not just the cornerstone of national security, but it is also an engine for growth.
The Defence Industrial Strategy will deliver good jobs and rewarding careers in Defence, that support communities across our nations.
I am also working with my Ministerial colleagues as part of a cross-Government effort to identify and grow the skills the UK defence sector will need for the future.
