A £275m government investment is set to secure 1,400 jobs in Barrows BAE Systems.

The money is to build a new generation of nuclear deterrent submarines designed in Barrow in Cumbria.

BAE Systems Submarines managing director Tony Johns said it was the “largest and most complex project” the shipyard has undertaken.

“Designing a new, nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine is one of the most challenging engineering projects in the world today.”

About 6,500 people work at the Barrow site.
