Nicky Morgan, who chairs the Treasury select committee, complained that MPs had not been informed about the deal with Nissan before Monday. It operates on the outskirts of a city where 61% voted for Brexit in the 2016 referendum. Over the weekend, Nissan said it would no longer manufacture the new model X-Trail SUV in Sunderland, stopping a planned expansion. “We will continue to do everything we can to make it as easy and rewarding as possible for Nissan to invest,” Clark wrote. The shadow business secretary, Rebecca Long-Bailey, blamed the government’s handling of Brexit, arguing a tipping point had been reached.
