You will not find any laptop at the £400 price point. I recommend that you save up.
You would be needing a laptop that is about equal to a desktop's specs when it comes to Fallout 4; that would be a GTX 980M.

You may be able to, however, get away with a GTX 970M.

EDIT:
This is the lowest I would go... £637

It would not be a good experience with Fallout 4 however; the biggest problem would most likely be the CPU (Intel i5-4210H)

Assuming you want to play Fallout 4 at 1080p a GTX 960m would suffice.
If you don't mind playing at lower resolution less than high graphic settings then playing Fallout 4 with a weaker GPU is possible. For example, I played Fallout 4 on my laptop with a Radeon HD 8850m @ 1600x900 resolution and a mix of low and medium settings. It is a little more powerful than a nVidia 940m.
Do not buy a laptop with integrated graphics to play Fallout 4 like Intel HD graphics because they are not powerful enough to play Fallout 4 and they are not officially supported by the game. There are some fixes to get Fallout 4 to run on Intel HD graphics, but it is hit or miss. Some people can play FO4 using Intel HD graphics (low performance) while others cannot.
I tried to several fixes to test the Intel HD 4400 in my laptop, but the game crashes when I attempt to go past the main menu.
My advice is to save up money to buy a laptop with at least GTX 960m or better.
