AstraZeneca Ditches £450m investment in UK plant

[arista]

Yes Rachel,
There is not so much Growth now.

Rachel Announced this a week back.

Conservative Offer was better.



[AstraZeneca has scrapped plans
to invest £450m in expanding a
vaccine manufacturing plant in Merseyside,
blaming a reduction in government support.
The pharmaceutical giant has announced
its decision just two days after
Chancellor Rachel Reeves set out
Labour's plan to go "further and faster"
to boost economic growth.

AstraZeneca said that after "protracted" talks,
a number of factors influenced the move,
including "the timing and reduction
of the final offer compared to the
previous government's proposal".

The Treasury has been contacted for comment.]
