Re: Trade figures since Brexit !!
After loads of off-topic posts let's have something that is more relevant.
"Warship U-turn set to boost British shipbuilding"
This is regarding defence procurement minister Jeremy Quin saying that a new policy will allow us to choose to make our own warships
of any decription ourselves.
"Previously, EU procurement rules allowed the Government to restrict bids for warships to UK companies, but the Government had refused to class some Royal Navy support ships as warships."
Unions have argued that constructing the £1.5bn contract the three new 40,000-tonne vessels is vital to sustaining Britain’s shipbuilding industry until the next major round of naval contracts."
Of course, being able to do something and actually doing it are two different things.
So let's see whether or not our own shipbuilders are actually awarded these contracts rather than overseas builders before passing judgement.

Yes I know The Telegraph is mainly subscrioption-only but there is a free trial available.
Failing that the above gives the general idea.
