• Written Answers — Ministry of Defence: Warships: Shipbuilding 15 May 2019

  To ask Her Majesty's Government under what legal obligation, if any, they are required to procure the building of the new Royal Navy supply ships through open international competition.

• Defence: British Steel - Question 30 Apr 2019

• Defence: British Steel - Question 30 Apr 2019

  I put it to the Minister that using more British steel would overcome the uncertainty in relation to Brexit. It would bring more prosperity to steel producing areas and more job security for British steelworkers. Using only 40% British steel on defence projects is far too low. Surely we should be using 100% British steel in all our defence programmes.
