Proceeding contribution from Christian Matheson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 6 March 2017. It occurred during Urgent question on Opel/Vauxhall: Sale to PSA Group.
Opel/Vauxhall: Sale to PSA Group
I echo the thanks to the Secretary of State for his efforts to keep those of us with a constituency interest involved. I am most grateful to him. Does he accept that our car industry is at a competitive disadvantage compared with those in other European countries because of the way that business rates operate, and that when new plant is installed, it increases business rate costs? Will he speak to his colleagues in the Government to see if we can find a way around this disincentive to invest?
