Billions of pounds will be pumped into the UK economy following Norway’s decision to select British warships for its Armed Forces, securing thousands of jobs in Britain for years to come. The UK, in its biggest ever warship export deal by value, will supply Norway with Type 26 frigates designed for anti-submarine warfare in the deal, which is worth £10bn. The deal will support 4000 jobs across the UK supply chain until well into the 2030s, including more than 2000 at BAE Systems’ Glasgow shipyards. The programme is also expected to support 432 business, including 222 SMEs across the UK.
