No.

Can the cabinet secretary explain to me why Ferguson’s shipyard, which is owned and funded by the SNP Government, is able to do contract work for BAE Systems, which builds warships? Just in case she did not know, warships have munitions on them. Thank goodness that John Healey, Labour’s Secretary of State for Defence, has said that he will step in, because the SNP has failed to step up.

Conscious of the time and drawing my remarks to a close, I welcome the strategic defence review. I very much welcome the investment that has been brought forward by a UK Labour Government: billions of pounds for improved housing for forces personnel and for new submarines, which will have a direct and positive impact on His Majesty’s naval base Clyde in my constituency. I am very grateful to those at the base, both serving personnel and staff, who are working for partners such as Babcock, which, through their efforts, contribute to the security of our country. We need to equip them to do their job, however.

Defence might be reserved, but growing the economy, investing in manufacturing and providing skills and training are all devolved and the responsibility of the Scottish Government. The SNP has lost sight of that. Instead, it wants to play student politics. It is simply not serious. It is time for change.
