MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Since Nissan's Thursday announcement that it would heavily invest in its Sunderland factory in the north of England, the UK government has repeatedly denied striking any special agreement with the car-maker.
The Nissan announcement came amid the worries that foreign companies would withdraw from the United Kingdom following the country's June referendum where the majority voted for leaving the European Union.
“This is something which is deeply concerning many thousands of dedicated workers…. That is why it is vital we get clarity from the government as to what reassurances they have given Nissan, and how they can extend them to the rest of the industry and manufacturers across the country," McDonnell said on Friday, as quoted by The Independent newspaper.
He added that the government cannot single out some factories and leave others without any reassurance and blamed the Conservative Party for its unwillingness to save the manufacturing jobs despite their ability to do so, according to the newspaper.
