Good to welcome @D_G_Alexander and @LukePollard to Methil yesterday.
They met our apprentices, saw the investment underway and heard about our plans for 750 apprentices by 2030.
Rebuilding the UK’s industrial base and the skills to sustain it.

Reindustrialisation in action. 👏
Scottish Secretary @D_G_Alexander visited @Navantia_UK's Methil yard with @LukePollard to hear about investment, new facilities and plans to increase its apprenticeship commitment by 50%.
The UK Government is backing jobs, apprentices, and industrial capability across Scotland.

Increasing defence spending offers more chances to reindustrialise and create more good jobs.
Today I joined Douglas Alexander and Richard Baker at Navantia’s shipyard in Methil to see what defence-led growth looks like. 🇬🇧🏴

A big arrival in Belfast!
@Margaritaville's Beachcomber is now at Harland & Wolff, where work is underway on a major transformation ahead of the ship entering service in 2027.
The project is expected to generate around £40m for the Belfast region.

Apprenticeships are vital: for defence manufacturing and for young people's life chances.

This vital investment at Faslane offers the potential of a huge boost for the yard at Methil which is ideally placed to carry out this work, and hundreds more skilled jobs and apprenticeships at the yard.

The announcement by our Chancellor @JohnHealey_MP that the Government will proceed with construction of new dry docks at Faslane and that this work will be done by British yards is a fantastic opportunity for the Methil yard in my constituency.
