Scottish Affairs Committee: Securing Scotland’s Future: Defence Skills and Jobs

Committee hears from witnesses

The Scottish Affairs Committee will take oral evidence on how Scotland can develop and retain defence-sector skills and jobs. The inquiry examines the link between Scotland's defence industry capacity and wider economic opportunity, against a backdrop of skills shortages and competition for talent across the UK defence supply chain.

Defence manufacturing and services are a significant employer across Scotland, particularly in the west and central belt. This inquiry will influence how government and industry coordinate to protect Scottish jobs in a strategically important sector and ensure the UK defence industrial base remains competitive.
