MoD strikes £9bn deal with Rolls Royce to help power UK nuclear submarines A deal worth around £9 billion has been struck with Rolls-Royce by the Government to help power Britain’s nuclear submarines.
The Ministry of Defence said the contract would deliver design, manufacture and support services to nuclear reactors to power the UK’s submarines.
Mr Healey will announce the deal between the MoD and Rolls-Royce submarines Ltd, worth approximately £9 billion, on a visit to the company’s nuclear production facility in Derby on Friday.
He said: “This investment in Britain’s defence will deliver a long-term boost to British business, jobs and national security.
“In line with our Plan for Change, this deal with Rolls-Royce, a historic British success-story, will support high-skilled UK jobs who equip the thousands of submariners that keep us all safe.
