Submission History: Motion by Councillor Catherine Vallis:-
"Council notes the UK Government's £10 billion investment in the construction of Type 26 frigates, all of which will be built at BAE Systems' shipyards in Govan and Scotstoun.
Council recognises the significant economic and social benefits this investment will bring to Glasgow, including the creation of approximately 2,000 skilled jobs locally and support for thousands more across the UK supply chain.
Council further acknowledges the strategic importance of Glasgow's shipbuilding sector in contributing to national defence, industrial innovation, and long-term workforce development.
Council also recognises the opportunity this investment presents to strengthen Glasgow's skills base and calls on local colleges, universities, and training providers to work in partnership with BAE Systems and government agencies to ensure that the city's workforce is equipped with the skills needed for long-term success in the sector.
Council requests that future phases of the programme include community benefit clauses to ensure that local residents and young people have access to apprenticeships, internships, and career pathways in shipbuilding and engineering.
Council resolves to:
- Welcome this investment and its positive impact on Glasgow's economy and communities.
- Call on the Scottish and UK Governments to ensure continued support for skills development, apprenticeships, and infrastructure in the city's shipbuilding sector."
