uin	185470
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/11/2018 answer text <p>While the future of Appledore is a matter for Babcock, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) has remained closely engaged with the company on this issue. Together with MOD officials, both the Secretary of State for Defence and I have met Babcock to explore potential options. This included bringing forward a potential £60 million package of work at Devonport, thereby providing additional work for Appledore workers. However, our discussions with Babcock established that this work would not be enough to secure the long-term future of the yard.</p><p>Regrettably, Babcock has now stated that it has reached a point where it can no longer sustain the cost of its operations at Appledore. This is clearly a concerning time for Appledore employees and their families and, while Babcock will offer all those affected other positions, the Government is standing by to provide any additional support.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 02/11/2018 14:53:20 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew

The Department is liaising closely with the MOD who have spent £1.7bn with Babcock last year. The MOD had explored a range of options with Babcock but this was not enough for Babcock to decide to maintain the Appledore facility.. In the event of job losses being announced, the Government will provide assistance through its Rapid Response Service and is ready to support any employee affected by this announcement.</p> answering member constituency Watford answering member printed Richard Harrington question first answered 05/11/2018 16:32:37 answering member 4068 label Biography information for Lord Harrington of Watford

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/11/2018 answer text <p>The Government’s proposals, as set out in the 12 July White Paper, are the best way to protect jobs and avoid a hard border between Ireland and Northern Ireland. With negotiations ongoing, it would not be practical or sensible to set out the details of exactly how the Government will assess the final deal. When we bring forward the vote on the final deal, Parliament will be presented with the appropriate analysis to make an informed decision.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 01/11/2018 13:21:45 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
