The devastating future for Welsh manufacturing predicted by a Brexit economist - and why he said it was a good thing
Quote:
Leading Brexiteer Jacob Rees Mogg has urged the public to listen to a Cardiff economist who said Brexit would lead to running down the car industry “in the same way we ran down the coal and steel industries”.
The comments from Cardiff University’s Professor Patrick Minford have come under the spotlight after Mr Rees-Mogg praised him in a newspaper article.
In 2012, he told MPs on Westminster’s Foreign Affairs committee that car manufacturers in the UK would have to be wound down if Britain left the EU.
In the run up to the referendum in 2016, he also said that Brexit would "eliminate" manufacturing.
