<p>Government has a long-standing programme of support to maintain the competitiveness
of the UK automotive sector. This includes the Automotive Sector Deal. This is a joint
strategic vision for how government and industry will work together to respond to
the Grand Challenges of the Industrial Strategy, such as Clean Growth and the Future
of Mobility.</p><p> </p><p>I am delighted that Sir Jim Ratcliffe is considering the
UK as a place for large-scale investment into the automotive sector. The Department
has maintained close engagement with INEOS throughout their process and has met with
the company and members of the South Tees Development Corporation on several occasions.
We continue to promote UK options with INEOS, and stand ready to support in any way
we can.</p>
