10. Short Debate — Postponed from 15 November — Business post-Brexit and the opportunities for Wales (22 Nov 2017)

Mr Neil Hamilton: ...the arm of the EU in negotiations with the UK Government, which nobody in his right mind in the UK would want. In the last few days, we've had another interesting reversal of project fear, because Siemens, Europe’s biggest manufacturing industry, which employs 15,000 people in the UK, has reversed its position on Brexit. Only two years ago, Joe Kaeser, the chief executive of Siemens...

Scottish Parliament: Burntisland Fabrications (22 Nov 2017)

Keith Brown: ...in administration immediately, and to secure the space for negotiations to continue and a positive solution to be found. Those discussions with SSE, the partners in Beatrice Offshore Windfarm Ltd, Siemens, Seaway Heavy Lifting, BiFab and the trade unions—predominantly Unite and the GMB—also provided us with a clearer picture of the nature of the financial position that BiFab was in and...

Fourth Industrial Revolution - Question (15 Nov 2017)

Lord Henley: ..., as I do, that changes are coming and that we must accept them and work for them. He will have seen the Made Smarter Review that we commissioned, published only a week ago by the chairman of Siemens, and I think he would accept that we will see many more jobs; I think the review estimated this could create something in the order of 135,000 new jobs. In terms of what he was saying about...

Clean Growth Strategy (12 Oct 2017)

Claire Perry: ...the first time we have the clearest set of cross-Government ambitions, policies, initiatives and funding—[Interruption.] The hon. Lady should have come to the launch, where the chief executive of Siemens talked about how businesses such as his completely welcomed and supported the strategy and were investing in their supply chains on the back of it. We have an effective, legally binding...

Bae Systems Military Air & Information Sites: Job Losses (10 Oct 2017)

Claire Perry: .... We also want to explore other opportunities. I am struck by the locations of some of the plants that may be affected, and I am also struck by the investment opportunities with, for example, the Siemens investment in offshore wind turbine production in Hull. There are opportunities for skilled engineering staff right accross the UK and right across the region. [Interruption.] I am sorry...

Modern Slavery (Victim Support) Bill [HL] - Second Reading ( 8 Sep 2017)

Lord Prescott: ...Humber from the development of the Humber estuary. Estuarial development affects many developing countries, so our expertise, whether in fishing, trade, nuclear power or renewable energy—now with Siemens and wind power—can be used to help developing countries meet their low-carbon targets. We have made two agreements, which involve the universities, the local authorities, public and...

Armed Forces: Thameslink (19 Jul 2017)

Paul Maynard: .... Of course, people want new trains. It is right to point out that the new Thameslink trains have advanced technology; they are more spacious and modern by their very definition. We have contracted Siemens to deliver 115 of them overall. We have 37 currently in service, between Bedford and Brighton, on the Wimbledon loop and on services in Kent. We expect all Thameslink services to be...

Businesses and SMEs - Motion to Take Note ( 6 Jul 2017)

Viscount Younger of Leckie: ...and offers them a new start in life. National Grid recruits young people not in employment, education or training and equips them with skills for the future. As my noble friend Lady Rock said, Siemens contributes to the increasingly vital engineering skills that are so needed for our country. As the noble Baroness, Lady Greengross, mentioned, Anglian Water, recently awarded Responsible...

Road Infrastructure — [Mrs Cheryl Gillan in the Chair] ( 5 Jul 2017)

Robert Courts: .... One need only look at Carterton, where world-beating industries such as Boeing and Airbus are present on the base, but where the slip road access to the A40 is restricted; or Eynsham, where Siemens, with its word-beating medical engineering, is restricted in relation to travel on the A40. There are many other businesses there, as is shown by the West Oxfordshire business awards, but I...

Energy Price Cap ( 3 Jul 2017)

Greg Clark: ...not just in the deployment of renewables, but in the cost reductions that we have seen. That process has created jobs across the UK, especially in coastal towns. I had the pleasure of opening the Siemens wind blade factory in Hull, which created 1,000 good jobs. However, he is right that the detriment has been going on too long, which was why the Government asked the CMA to investigate the...

Queen’s Speech - Debate (5th Day) (28 Jun 2017)

Baroness Armstrong of Hill Top: ...in getting new business start-ups. I suspect that there is some connection. Access to skilled labour and the single market is therefore crucial to the north-east. Think about Nissan, Hitachi, Siemens or the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, which are the core drivers of our exports: all of them want to remain in the single market and the customs union. The Government remain, to me,...

Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy: Industrial Strategy (27 Jun 2017)

Greg Clark: ...example, as the hon. Lady knows. The Humber’s leading position in marine engineering has been further strengthened by the opening of factories around the offshore wind industry, including at Siemens, where 1,000 new skilled jobs have been created. This is the industrial strategy in action.

Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy: Low-carbon Economy (14 Mar 2017)

Nick Hurd: I thank my hon. Friend for his question and wholly endorse what he says. The Secretary of State and I saw at first-hand when visiting the new Siemens offshore wind blade turbine factory in Hull just what this technology and engineering can do to inspire, in particular, young people in the area about opportunities for employment in this exciting sector.

Budget Resolutions - Amendment of the Law (13 Mar 2017)

Robert Courts: ...the underlying strength of our economy. My constituency has a number of high-level technical businesses that are very skilled and, in many ways, world beaters. These companies include Polar Tech and Siemens in Eynsham, STL Communications in Witney, and home-grown businesses such as Darke and Taylor in Hanborough. There are also businesses that have not been grown in West Oxfordshire but...

Amendment of the Law ( 8 Mar 2017)

Diana R. Johnson: ...maths. This Budget is a bit of a damp squib. Hull will have to carry on making its own luck, as it has done for many years. We have been fortunate with the City of Culture and the investment from Siemens. In the spirit of where I started—the headscarf revolutionaries—we will continue to battle for a fair deal for our city from this Government, because we are certainly not getting it at...

European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill - Committee (1st Day) (27 Feb 2017)

Lord Wigley: ...at Merthyr Tydfil at that time—and then having helped to set up a small company, Alpha-Dyffryn, which I chaired for nine years. This company was the sprat that caught the mackerel and secured the Siemens factory at Llanberis, which employs some 400 people and was established to sell to the European market. What I know about all American companies coming to be based in Wales—companies...

European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill - Second Reading (2nd Day) (Continued) (21 Feb 2017)

Viscount Ridley: ...which were promised if we voted leave—we have seen an acceleration of growth, now the fastest in the G7. There have been record highs on the stock market, votes of confidence from Apple, Google, Siemens, Nissan, Snapchat, McDonalds, IBM and many other companies. There has been a manufacturing revival, a narrowing of the trade deficit as exports pick up, thanks to a welcome devaluation of...

8. 6. ‘Securing Wales' Future’: Transition from the European Union to a New Relationship with Europe ( 7 Feb 2017)

Leanne Wood: ...a product has to meet the highest possible safety and environmental standards. But the single market isn’t just about household goods. It’s also about household names: Airbus; Bridgend Ford; Siemens at Llanberis; Welsh lamb—90 per cent of our lamb exports; Halen Môn. All of these companies or sectors have either supported the single market or depend on it for their international...

Technical and Further Education Bill - Second Reading ( 1 Feb 2017)

Lord Baker of Dorking: ...on that. They are an impressive bunch of people and I know a couple of them, who are independent people with great experience. I am thinking in particular of Toby Peyton-Jones, the HR director of Siemens. He is a trustee of one of my educational charities and has great knowledge of apprenticeships and the needs of British industry. The institute could become not just an administrative...
