NAVY SHIPYARD CONTRACTS

Early day motion 974, tabled 13 July 2000 by Stephen Hepburn (Labour). Signed by 52 members.

That this House welcomes the Ministry of Defence's procurement of Type 45 destroyers to be built at Glasgow and Vosper Thornycroft; but reminds the Government that the workforce of Cammell Laird on the Tyne and in Merseyside want similar fair treatment when awarding the ro-ro contract so that they can also achieve security of employment.

Signatures by party: Labour 51, UUP 1.
