I am glad that the right hon. Gentleman has made it plain that merchant shipbuilding should be subsidised by the defence budget. I do not recollect him taking that view when he was in government. He asked which yards I categorised as being mainly in warship building. The two yards concerned are Cammell Laird and Swan Hunter.
