Jaguar Land Rover

Asked for more information on the Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) announcement, the Prime Minister s Spokesman (PMS) told the assembled press that there would be an announcement from BERR in ten minutes, but he would describe this announcement as part of BERR s business as usual programme and the sort of support they provide to companies who are investing in future technologies.

Asked if it was a bail-out, the PMS said that it wasn t. Asked if this was part of the Automotive Assistance Programme, the PMS said that it was something different.

  1. Can we have some assurances that any monies going into R&D at JLR are spent in the UK, recruiting the expertise of British Designers & Engineers – rather than seeing it go to Indian or Chinese designers? Its all well and good securing jobs at Halewood in Production but our Engineering jobs are being hit heavily too. I have no problem with competition from Europe but feel we should ptotect British Taxpayers money from supporting loans to Non-European workers. Not racism – just economics!
