The UK government has awarded Jaguar Land Rover £11.5 million in state aid since the Brexit referendum
The British government has awarded Jaguar Land Rover more than £11 million in state aid since the UK decided to leave the European Union.
Business Secretary Greg Clark denied claims he was “desperately having to throw money” at worried carmakers to stay in the UK because of Brexit.
It comes after Mr Clark confirmed the Government had offered Japanese carmaker Nissan £61 million on condition that it built its X-Trail model at a plant in Sunderland...
...The European Commission website also shows that Aston Martin Lagonda, based in Gaydon, Warwickshire, received £5.8 million via the Welsh government in August 2017. The firm is building a factory in south Wales.
Aston Martin Lagonda also received £1.2 million to support research and development in the West Midlands, in March 2017.
Other firms to receive support include Toyota, Ford and BMW.
