00:00The Defence Secretary and I are here today to confirm, after the agreement that was reached around the Defence Investment
00:08Plan,
00:08£8.4 billion investment in the new dreadnought class of submarine for our continuous at-sea deterrent.
00:20And that investment should give you all confidence that the country's commitment to borrow and to everything that happens here
00:28is now secure.
00:30And we will continue to make sure that there is that long-term path here to those good jobs that
00:38will sustain this area.
00:40Good unionised jobs. And we were pleased to meet the trade unions earlier, Unite and GMB, who also are constructive
00:48partners on this site.
00:50And I was just saying, as we walked up, it's almost a model of how it should be across Britain.
00:56What I've said as part of the Defence Investment Plan is that I went through it to give a commitment
01:02to all of our communities up and down the country.
