This is just the latest in a series of orders for Bombardier, following on from a recent large order from Abellio Greater Anglia. Since 2010 Bombardier have secured orders for over 2,800 new carriages, all of which have been and are being built in Derby where over 1600 people are employed. Furthermore, since Hitachi opened their manufacturing facility in Newton Aycliffe, over 700 jobs have been created including apprenticeships and graduate roles.</p><p> </p><p>I am determined that our investment in the rail network continues to benefit the UK economy. Where appropriate we do exploit the scope we have to use our procurement to add value. For example, the recent Periodic Indicative Notice issued by HS2 Limited in relation to their forthcoming rolling stock procurement asks applicants to make clear how their proposal would create employment and develop capability.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 07/07/2017 07:31:22 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard
