Investment in the UK car industry has fallen 64% compared to 2015
A fair bit of speculation and second-guessing in that report though. Few if any hard figures.
Nothing that chimes anywhere close to sas's original statement anyway.
Quelle surprise?
I know your brain cell glazes over where numbers are concerned.
Either that or you don't comprehend basic English.
Hate to quote the Mail but:
"Last year saw £1.66 billion invested in the industry, but figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), seen by The Mail on Sunday, show just £647.4 million of investment has been tracked by the body so far this year".
The BBC News yesterday said there'll shortly be a meeting at 10 Downing Street between reps of the car industry and May.
Wonder what she'll promise them this time.
UK car output fell more than 4% to 153,224 vehicles in September.

Production also fell in April, May, June, and August.
Domestic demand dropped 14.2% to 31,421 units in September, contributing to an overall year-to-date production decrease of 2.2%.
