So how much of an items production has to be in Britain for it to be British?

Take JLR - Designed here, production lines designed here and most of the manufacture is here. Soon to be supplemented by a huge new Factory in China supplying a 'not for UK' XF to the far east market (with help from the Chinese Gvmt). So is the new XF a British car made in China?

Doesn't really matter, all the profits are probably funnelled through the Cayman's etc. One might argue there are income taxes and NI paid, but they are offset by the inevitable pension fund bail out in the future (reference - Tata Steel)

Can I propose a change in username to SasCretin? Your use of sockies really is very tedious indeed.

well for the purposes of tariffs and taxes I suppose its where its considered to be from. One assembled in UK = British Made, one in China = Chinese made.

If Abdullah Jihadi Hussain is British then why can't Nissan be?
