Ministers also hope the investment will help create and sustain more than 5,000 jobs within the supply chain across the UK. The loan will protect more than 1,200 jobs in Bristol whilst the government is pumping £340m into plane-maker Airbus in a bid to protect thousands of jobs. The business secretary, Lord Mandelson, made the announcement on a visit to the factory in Bristol where wings for the new A350 passenger aircraft will be made. The loan will create and sustain more than 1,200 jobs at Filton and at Airbus UK's Broughton plant in north Wales. Ministers also hope it will help create and sustain more than 5,000 jobs within the supply chain across the UK. The news follows Rolls-Royce's announcement last month that it will open four new factories in the UK, creating or saving 800 jobs, helped by the government's building Britain's future programme. The French and German governments have already announced support for the A350 and Spain, the other Airbus partner country, is in discussions with Airbus.http://mvc.digipigeon.com/en-gb2009-12-21 12:00:00
