Calls are being made for the UK government to ‘overcome the barrier of investment’ and ensure secure well-paid job opportunities in the Port of Milford Haven.

Addressing Westminster earlier this week, newly elected MP Henry Tufnell, urged the government to invest in greater job opportunities within local industries.

He stated that throughout his election campaign, he had became increasingly aware of the growing demand for well- paid secure jobs in the industries of the future. These include the floating offshore wind energy development within the port of Milford Haven.

Henry Tufnell requested a meeting with Ed Miliband, who is the newly-appointed Secretary of State for energy security and Net Zero, in a bid to overcome what he described as .the barrier of investment for local jobs’

Ed Miliband replied by stating that the government is making a £1.8b investment in UK ports to halt what his government has labelled 14 years of industrial decline.

“This will allow us to invest in more ports,” he said.

“I can’t make promises about individual ports, but if we are to get the jobs, then we must invest in our port infrastructure.”
