Bill Kidd: ...place on site for cleaning and decontamination. I highlight some parallel work in the welding sector to address the inhalation and ingestion of carcinogenic contaminants. John Brown, who is based at BAE Systems on the Clyde, and the GMB have launched the breathe easy campaign to address the impact of heavy metal welding fumes on GMB members and their families. There is potential for...

Paul Sweeney: ...agree that it is faintly ridiculous that, in order to avoid redundancies, Ferguson Marine, which is a publicly owned shipyard, is now almost entirely dependent on building sub-contract work for BAE Systems on a type 26 programme for the Ministry of Defence while the Scottish Government is handing a £100 million ferry contract to a Turkish shipyard and is likely to award another £100...
Ben Wallace: ...over £1 billion in developing the skills and technologies needed to deliver at pace. This capability will be designed by some of the world’s leading defence companies. In the UK, these include BAE Systems, Leonardo UK, MBDA UK and Rolls-Royce, working closely with the Ministry of Defence.

Baroness Goldie: The Type 26 Batch 2 contract is structured to motivate both the Ministry of Defence and BAE Systems to deliver a successful outcome, with both parties sharing in the pain and gain in delivering the programme, ensuring value for public money and protecting the taxpayers from any project overrun costs. The Batch 2 contract introduces further investment in BAE Systems' shipbuilding facilities on...
...ships. Having appointed Team Resolute as the preferred bidder, the Ministry of Defence expects to award it a contract around the end of this year. That appointment follows on from the award to BAE Systems in Glasgow of the £4 billion contract for five Type 26 frigates earlier this week. Both are excellent news for UK shipyards and the shipbuilding skills base in our country. Those crucial...

Nicola Sturgeon: ...the UK Government—albeit with Scottish taxpayers contributing to the cost—it is absolutely vital that Scotland benefits fully. I welcome the decision, and I take the opportunity to congratulate BAE Systems. I have campaigned over many years for the future of Govan shipyard, which used to be in my constituency and is now in the constituency of Humza Yousaf. However, although I welcome...
Ben Wallace: .... I am pleased to announce that Team Resolute has been selected as the preferred bidder to provide three solid support ships for the Royal Navy. This appointment follows on from the award to BAE Systems in Glasgow of the £4 billion contract for five Type 26 frigates earlier this week. Both are good news for UK shipyards and the skill base. Team Resolute, comprising Harland & Wolff, BMT...
Alister Jack: ...the United Kingdom and our NATO allies. The defence industry is also vital to Scotland’s economy, and I am delighted to see that the new Type 26 frigates, costing £4.2 billion, will be built by BAE Systems on the Clyde in Govan. This will secure thousands of Scottish jobs for years to come.
Alan Brown: .... We do not have a coherent strategy that links it all together. I should start by welcoming today’s news of the confirmation of the £4.2 billion order for the five Type 26 frigates awarded to BAE Systems at Govan and Scotstoun. Those ships will now be built in the dry because BAE has been able to commit to the £200 million factory that was previously promised by the UK Government some...

This is an excellent deal for the taxpayer and will strengthen and secure the UK...
Sarah Owen: On a point of order, yesterday during Defence oral questions, the right hon. Member for Rayleigh and Wickford (Mr Francois) said “why does it take BAE Systems 11 years to build a ship”, that “the Japs can build in four?”—[Official Report, 7 November 2022; Vol. 722, c. 2.] Mr Speaker, you rightly and regularly remind us to use respectful language in this House, but unfortunately...
Lord West of Spithead: To ask His Majesty's Government whether there is any evidence of BAE Systems being involved with the UK ex-military aircrew flying in China.
Mark Francois: ...2028 and the lifetime cost to the programme will be over a quarter of a billion pounds more of taxpayers’ money. Given the defence budget is likely to come under great pressure, why does it take BAE Systems 11 years to build a ship the Japs can build in four?
Penny Mordaunt: ...freeports, the £179 million levelling-up funding for eight Scottish projects, and, of course, the support given for 1,700 jobs through the fantastic £3.7 billion type 26 shipbuilding programme at BAE Systems’ Govan yard, of which I particularly approve. I look forward to the inclusion of all those things in the paper.
Ben Wallace: ...capability. In the summer of 2021, we awarded the national contract, initially worth £250 million, for concept and assessment work under the FCAS Acquisition Programme.
