Clive Lewis MP, Shadow Business Secretary, responding to reports Google is to invest in the UK said:

“Google’s decision to invest in the UK is fantastic news. The 3000 jobs it will create with their commitment to doing business here in the UK is good news.

"I welcome, in particular, their statement that they are happy to ‘pay their fair share of tax’. The onus is now on the Government to make sure they do.

"We also note their warning that getting brexit wrong could jeopardise this kind of decision in the future - this is why the Government’s current shambles is so worrying.”
