That the Parliament welcomes the official opening of the Janet Harvey Hall at BAE Systems’ Govan Shipyard on the River Clyde in Glasgow; recognises that the hall has been named in honour of Janet Harvey, who, in 1940, became one of the first female electricians to work on the Clyde when she joined Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Co Ltd at just 18 years old, and who passed away on Armistice Day 2023 at the age of 101; acknowledges Janet Harvey’s pioneering role in a male-dominated wartime workforce and, by extension, the courage and skill of the many women who stepped into critical industrial roles during the Second World War; notes that two of Ms Harvey’s nieces, June Cofflet and Lynne Vernall, served as guests of honour at the opening ceremony and, alongside the Rt Hon Lord Provost of Glasgow and Jennifer Blee, naval ships manufacturing and facilities director, ceremonially cut the ribbon across the hall’s massive "gigadoor"; further notes that the "gigadoor" is the largest of its kind in the world, with a surface area of 2,160 square metres, which, it understands, is large enough to accommodate six IMAX cinema screens; understands that the Janet Harvey Hall forms the centrepiece of a £300 million programme of modernisation and digitalisation across BAE Systems’ Govan and Scotstoun shipyards; highlights that the hall measures 170 metres in length, 80 metres in width and approximately 49 metres in height, making it one of the largest enclosed volumes in Scotland, and that it features a column-free internal space achieved through 80-metre-long steel trusses supported by lattice columns; understands that an estimated 195,000 cubic metres of material was used to infill the shipyard's former wet basin to form the foundations for the hall, using silt dredged from the riverbed; further understands that its construction utilised over 6,000 tonnes of steel and 20,000 cubic metres of concrete; notes that the facility is equipped with two 100-tonne Goliath cranes and two auxiliary 20-tonne overhead cranes, supplied by Konecranes; understands that it can accommodate up to 500 workers per shift, and that, with 13,000 square metres of floor space, it enables the simultaneous construction of two ships side by side under cover for the first time in the shipyard’s 161-year history, a capability which it believes is of particular significance in Glasgow, known as the rainiest city in the United Kingdom, with an average of 170 rainy days per year; notes that the delivery of the hall was led by BAE Systems as the main client, with support from Turner & Townsend as project manager, Arch Henderson as civil engineers, Corstorphine & Wright and HLM as architects, McLaughlin & Harvey as the main construction contractor, Robert Bird Group as structural engineers, Severfield as the steelwork contractor, and Kane Group as the mechanical and electrical contractor, and understands that the facility is expected to sustain approximately 1,700 jobs in Scotland and a further 2,300 across the UK supply chain, improve schedule performance, reduce delivery intervals between ships, enhance quality through controlled-environment assembly, and contribute directly to the delivery of eight Type 26 frigates for the Royal Navy and future shipbuilding programmes, thereby supporting the UK’s sovereign defence capability.
