Written Question
Motor Vehicles: Trade Competitiveness
Thursday 4th February 2016

Asked by: Heather Wheeler (Conservative - South Derbyshire)

Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, what recent assessment he has made of the relative competitiveness of the UK automotive industry.

Answered by Anna Soubry

In November last year the Automotive Council published a comprehensive report called The International Competitiveness of the UK Automotive Industry.

The report is intended to illustrate where the UK has a competitive advantage over other countries, and to identify where additional attention from government and industry is needed. It will assist the Automotive Council in ensuring it focuses its resources on the areas that will offer the greatest return for the UK automotive sector, and in ensuring that the UK remains one of the most attractive places for investment.
