State-of-the-art Shipbuilding Facility at Rosyth
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes the news that Babcock, the aerospace and defence company, has awarded a £31.5 million contract to Robertson Construction for the development of a new Assembly Hall at its Rosyth site; understands that the construction project will support around 100 jobs locally and a further 100 jobs throughout the supply chain; considers that this state-of-the-art facility will bring improved productivity and efficiency and the ability to construct two vessels simultaneously, under cover; congratulates the workforce and management at Rosyth on their commitment and resilience, and notes that the beginning of construction has been marked by the burying of a commemorative time capsule at the site of the new facility.
