Can I thank the Member for her question, and say that we believe that something in the region of 450 people living in Wales are employed at the Ellesmere Port Vauxhall site? In addition, there’s approximately a dozen companies within Wales in the supply chain. There is no doubt that uncertainty over Brexit needs to be removed in order to help Ellesmere Port’s Vauxhall site, and indeed the Luton site, to maximise on the potential of its productive workforce. It’s my firm view that what is good for Nissan should also be good for Ford, and for Vauxhall, and for the entire automotive sector in the UK.

I do believe that the business Secretary, Greg Clark, wants to do his very best for the automotive sector, but he also needs the Chancellor and the Prime Minister, and the whole of the UK Government, to be as committed to manufacturing in the UK as they are to the city of London. As I’ve said, I’ve spoken with Vauxhall, I’m seeking an urgent meeting with the Groupe PSA chair to discuss the opportunities that could come if the Vauxhall Astra’s lifespan is extended into the next decade or if new products are developed, in particular for the supply chain in Wales where we believe there is the potential to grow significantly the number of opportunities to supply Ellesmere Port and Luton.
