SOUTH Basildon and East Thurrock MP, Stephen Metcalfe rose on the floor of the House of Commons to ask a question regarding the Year of Engineering.
Mr Metcalfe said: “As we reach the halfway point through the Year of Engineering, will my right hon. Friend join me in thanking all those who have joined the campaign so far and encourage those who have yet to get on board to join up and make 2018 the success I know it can be?
Nusrat Ghani Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport),
“I thank my hon. Friend for his question, especially as he is the ambassador for the Year of Engineering.
“We are working with 1,400 companies up and down the country to create 1 million interactions to encourage young people to take STEM subjects—science, technology, engineering and maths—and become engineers of the future.
