Keir Starmer QC MP, Labour’s Shadow Secretary of State for Exiting the EU, calling on the Government to fully explain the deal they have made with Nissan, said:

“It’s welcome that the Government have done a deal with Nissan that protects jobs and supports the local community and economy.

“But that deal needs to be accompanied by transparency and accountability.

“We can’t have the Government doing deals that affect jobs and the future of our economy without telling the public or parliament what the basic terms are.

“They now need to spell that out and strike a wider deal that gives certainty to businesses, workers and communities across the country.”
