Electric Vehicle Battery Production - Commons Urgent Question (23 Jan 2023)
Lord Sikka: My Lords, since 2016, UK car production has nearly halved. Honda has closed its factory in Swindon and BMW is moving production of its electric Mini from Oxford to China.

With that in mind, would the Government consider bringing Britishvolt into public ownership? That is the only way...

I know that the Government are reviewing the connectivity between the...
