David Cameron to honour his promise that Shipbuilding would remain in Portsmouth

Petition Details

THE government is accused of abandoning Portsmouth after ministers failed to answer what action it would take to bring back shipbuilding to the city.

Yesterday saw the collapse of a crucial deal between the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and Magma Structures that would have restored Shipbuilding.

Additional Information

Likewise, the minister for Portsmouth, Mark Francois, failed to answer the questions sent to him yesterday, instead hailing the move to convert the shiphall into an engineering centre of excellence as ‘exciting’.

Now one of the nation’s biggest trade unions has urged the Tory chief to listen to the city and lay out his plans for the future.

Gary Cook, GMB regional organiser said: ‘It’s absolutely appalling. He (David Cameron) should be ashamed of himself.
