Motor Vehicles: Manufacturing Industries
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps he is taking to support the car manufacturing industry.
Answered by Justin Madders
The British automotive industry is the jewel in the crown of our manufacturing sector. By accelerating domestic battery making capacity, driving investment in gigafactories and removing planning barriers to get shovels in the ground, we will give our manufacturing sector the certainty it needs to flourish.
The UK is also home to a world-class and comprehensive innovation ecosystem, including the Advanced Propulsion Centre, Faraday Battery Challenge, High Value Manufacturing Catapult and the Automotive Transformation Fund.
