Urgent debate Live
in Parliament now. [One of the world's biggest carmakers has warned it may have to close UK factories if the government does not renegotiate the Brexit deal. Stellantis, which owns Vauxhall, Peugeot, Citroen and Fiat, had committed to making electric cars in the UK, but says that is under threat. It warned it could face tariffs of 10% on exports to the EU due to rules on where parts are sourced from. The government said it was "determined" UK car making will remain competitive. "If the cost of electric vehicle manufacturing in the UK becomes uncompetitive and unsustainable, operations will close," Stellantis said. It is the first time a car firm has openly called on the government to renegotiate the terms of the Brexit trade deal. Stellantis called on ministers to come to an agreement with the EU to keep rules as they are until 2027, and it also wants arrangements for manufacturing parts in Serbia and Morocco to be reviewed.] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-65612295 Sign Of The Times |

It is all because the UK has failed to get more
Car Batteries being made in the UK. PM Sunak ain't going back to the Brexit Deal. Last edited by arista; 17-05-2023 at 04:53 PM. |
