Asked

What steps he is taking to support defence sector jobs.

As part of the Defence Industrial Strategy, we launched a £182 million skills package that encompasses a range of initiatives which will provide people with the necessary skills to work in the defence sector. Proving that Defence is an engine for growth, this Government recently announced the £10 billion Type 26 frigate deal with Norway. This will be built by Scottish workers with 4,000 jobs created, of which 2,000 will be in Scotland.
