(Reuters) -British officials are lobbying South Korea to switch to Rolls-Royce from U.S. rival GE Aerospace as the primary engine partner for its fighter jet programme, the Financial Times reported on Monday.

Officials have been lobbying for co-production with a foreign partner as an intermediary step, the FT said, citing people familiar with the matter.
