Bassetlaw MP brands decision to build British submarines with French steel '˜treacherous betrayal'
Work on the successor fleet of British Submarines begins today at the BAE shipyard in Barrow in Furness and the total cost of the project will be around £31 billion.
John Mann said “This decision to allow British Submarines to be built using French steel is the ultimate betrayal of the British steel industry. No other country with a nuclear fleet would do such a thing, they put their heavy industry first. It seems the Defence Secretary simply doesn’t care about the British steel industry.”

“This treacherous decision won’t be forgotten.”
