The government has backed a £2.5 billion program for Rolls-Royce to develop new jet engines.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The investment aims to support Rolls-Royce's ability to secure contracts with major aeroplane makers, such as Boeing or Airbus, which could account for up to half of the total £2.5 billion outlay. The program is expected to support thousands of jobs across the UK, including in the Midlands and Bristol.
