I realise that there will be many here whp will not want to read this but it is relevant to our fight against the Arms Industry as it shows the money that BAE brings to the UK, money that we must look to replace if we are to stop arms production and sales in Britain.
I have no connection with BAE and I am not saying these figures are a good thing before I am flamed by half the world. They are just a statement of facts by an independent organisation
A report complied by Oxford Economic Forcasting estimates that BAE Systems contributed £5.4 billion to the UK economy in 2003. The impact was summarised as follows:
Employment £111,600
Investment £711 million
Exports £3,000 million
Taxes £2,553 million
Vales Added £ 5,430 million
