Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the measures to be taken in order to ensure that Nissan retains its Sunderland plant following the end of the Brexit transition period.
Answered by
Lord Callanan
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
The Government regularly speaks to businesses to ensure they are prepared for the end of the transition period, including Nissan.
Nissan has over 6,000 jobs at its Sunderland plant and over 7,000 staff across UK. The company has renewed its commitment to its Sunderland plant recently and is continuing to invest in this country.
We are determined to ensure that the UK continues to be one of the most competitive locations in the world for automotive and other advanced manufacturing.
