Aviation Sector

Proceeding contribution from Alan Brown (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 10 September 2020. It occurred during Backbench debate on Aviation Sector.

At the Prestwich aerospace cluster there are 4,000 jobs, and over 10% have already gone. Aviation is a worldwide industry. How the aviation sector in the UK is going to come out of this depends on support from the Government. Other Governments are extending their furlough schemes. Is it not the case that this UK Government need to extend the furlough scheme and invest in sustainable technologies? We need to provide further innovations so that the UK leads the world—leads other countries—and comes out stronger and better.
