Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Defence contractors, including BAE Systems, have made pledges regarding the defence sector's role in re-industrialisation and job creation. These companies promised to offer 40,000 opportunities annually for 18- to 24-year-olds, whether through work experience, an apprenticeship, or a permanent role. This target is scheduled to rise to 50,000 by 2035. The pledges were made against the backdrop of increased defence spending and the goals of the Ministry of Defence.

The pledges are linked to the increased defence spending planned for the coming years, which may necessitate tax rises. Wes Streeting stated that the defence industry should contribute to boosting British jobs and addressing the issue of young people not in education, employment, or training.
