PM declares ‘critical national endeavour’ to secure UK nuclear industry’s future
Rishi Sunak will declare a “critical national endeavour” to secure the future of the UK’s nuclear industry with a package of investment aimed at boosting skills and jobs amid concerns about defence spending.
The Prime Minister will tout a new fund backed by £20 million in public money to support growth in Barrow-in-Furness, the Cumbrian town that is home to Britain’s Astute-class submarines and Dreadnought programme.
He will commit to a further £180 million a year over the next decade, which Downing Street says would provide grants to local organisations and improvements
