Proceeding contribution from Lord Lennie (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 5 February 2019. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Nissan in Sunderland.
Nissan in Sunderland
My Lords, other car makers in this country—Honda, Toyota and BMW—have pulled out from bringing models to this country. That demonstrates a lack of confidence in the future of manufacturing here, due in part to Brexit uncertainty. Nissan clearly does not feel that it can rely on the assurances given by the Secretary of State in his recently published letter that there will be free, frictionless trade between here and Europe. Why not?
