My hon. Friend is absolutely right. This is an important
sector, as has been evident from our discussions this

that will continue and be reinforced. I think that all
Members across the House will have been as delighted as I was
that Boeing made its commitment to its first ever UK plant in
Sheffield, showing how attractive we are to advanced
manufacturing businesses such as that.
