Proceeding contribution from Lord Henley (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 5 February 2019. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Nissan in Sunderland.


Nissan in Sunderland

My Lords, I am not going to allocate blame, particularly because, as I mentioned earlier, my wife was one of those who made the mistake of buying a VW just before the diesel scandal erupted. The fact is that there has been a concerted attempt to reduce the number of diesel cars, for whatever reason. For that reason, Nissan has to make hard-headed decisions about what cars it invests in and in which plants it should be investing.
