Rebecca Long-Bailey MP, Shadow Business Secretary,
responding to Aston Martin’s investment announcement, said:
“Aston Martin’s £500m trade deal announced
today is welcome, as is the continued investment of other car manufacturers
such as Nissan and Toyota. However, the continued success of British automotive
sector, the jewel in our manufacturing crown, is being put at risk.
“The Government’s failing Brexit strategy twinned
with a weak industrial strategy and secretive bespoke deals within the sector
is the antitheses of the robust strategy the last Labour government put in
place for the sector.
“Labour’s properly resourced industrial strategy
and jobs-first approach to leaving the EU is what is needed to ensure the
continued prosperity of the automotive sector’.”
