Contract with JLR? Not for much longer perhaps

[AtW]

If it makes economic sense to keep a manufacturing base in the UK then it will happen.

It made economic sense to Germany, France, even USA and Japan have kept onto most important stuff.

It doesn't. But you kind of think its the beginning of the end.

Much as I hated the last Labour Government Peter Mandelsohn did select JLR as one of the 'crown jewels' of British manufacturing that could not be allowed to go bust.

I wonder if Vince Cable will give a monkeys?

It's a business. If it makes economic sense to keep a manufacturing base in the UK then it will happen.

If you want to help then go and buy a new Range Rover.

No, they just sold it to their friends in India and offered subsidies to keep it afloat at least until General Election.

Why would they keep manufacturing in UK if they move it to India with China nearby?

The problem is UK's Govt policies that result in few remaining desirable items made in UK to stop being made here resulting in job, tax and prestige losses.

The reason I post this is because one can hardly expect from someone like you to have an ounce of strategic thinking.

Never mind if your contract goes east there is plenty of other work in Britains booming economy.

It makes economic sense building them there for the chinese and asian markets if the demand is there.
