Submission Documents: By Bailie Elizabeth Cameron:- This Council welcomes the recent announcement by the Ministry of Defence to proceed with the construction of the Type 26 Global Combat Ship. This development will help to support thousands of jobs in shipbuilding across Britain and in particular it will safeguard skilled jobs and apprenticeships on the Clyde at Govan and Scotstoun. The Type 26 will make a significant contribution to the Royal Navy's capacity to protect our waters and allow our country to play its fullest part in the community of nations. This Council further notes that the MoD will not be in a position until 2015 to place orders with British yards for this ship and that no warship contract for the Royal Navy has gone to a foreign yard for more than half a century.
