Question to the Department for Business and Trade:
To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to protect the jobs of Vauxhall factory workers following concerns on the part of its parent company over net-zero targets.
Stellantis announced a strategic review of the UK operations this July. We have regularly engaged with the company throughout and stand ready to help following its conclusion. Stellantis transformed their plant at Ellesmere Port to solely produce electric vans from 2023 following a £100m investment that was secured with HMG support. Stellantis also announced that they will make small volumes of the larger electric vans at their plant at Luton.
