Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, pursuant to the Answer of 11 September 2023 to Question 196337 on Batteries: Factories, for what reason the financial support figure to Tata was not set out in the previous answer.

The Government continues to work with investors through our Automotive Transformation Fund (ATF) to progress plans to build a globally competitive electric vehicle supply chain in the UK.

We are engaging with a number of other companies to secure investment into the UK, so it would not be appropriate to reveal commercially sensitive figures.

We will publish details of any subsidy on the UK Subsidy Database (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/view-subsidies-awarded-by-uk-government), in line with our statutory obligations, in due course.
