The Prime Minister has been in Washington for talks with President Obama on how the UK & US can keep working together to advance our economic prosperity. US and UK companies are set to announce trade and investment deals worth more than £1.1 billion creating 1,700 new jobs in the UK. One of the deals is £1.3m in U.S. government funding for Watford-based Smiths Detection, for explosive detection R&D for its wearable chemical detection technology, already used by over 100,000 troops in the UK, U.S., and around the world. Welcoming the deal, the Prime Minister said: “The chemical detection technology developed by Smiths Detection is already used by over 100,000 troops in armed forces from around the world including the UK and Australia and this investment by the US government is a further vote of confidence in their world-leading wearable devices.”
