Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Julie Kirkbride (Conservative). It was answered on Thursday, 16 February 2006 on behalf of the Department of Trade and Industry.
Manufacturing/Research and Development
- Question
- Can the Minister give us any information about the prospects of car manufacturing at Longbridge? He will be aware that the plant is now owned by the Chinese, and they have promised that they will reinstate a car business at Longbridge. However, we heard earlier this week that the first six months' option on the land owned by St. Modwen has lapsed. The Chinese can still produce cars if they take up that option, but does the Minister have any information as to whether they intend to do so and to make good their promises?
- Answer
-
The company is certainly saying that it intends to develop production in the way that has been promised and is publicly maintaining that position.
