That the Parliament congratulates Babcock International on announcing that it will create more than 1,000 jobs at Rosyth in Fife over the next four years; understands that employees will work on a number of projects including Type 31 frigates for the Royal Navy; further understands that the intake will include 400 apprentices and 350 production support operatives, as well as skilled engineers, tradespeople and graduates; believes that Babcock could double its apprenticeship in 2024 as the company works on projects for HM Naval Base Clyde and the UK’s submarine enterprise, and wishes Babcock International all the best for the future.
