Vauxhall owner could move Astra production 'from UK'

The move would probably lead to the closure of the site, the FT said, threatening 1,000 jobs.

"Frankly I would prefer to put it [the Astra car] in Ellesmere Port but if the conditions are bad and I cannot make it profitable then I have to protect the rest of the company and I will not do it," Mr Tavares told the paper."We have an alternative to Ellesmere Port."

Mr Gove said his team still aimed to come to an agreement with Brussels but, writing in the Sunday Times, he added:"No deal is now a very real prospect."And the car industry lobby group, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders warned on Friday that"No deal Brexit is simply not an option."Car production has been falling in the UK over the past year, amid increasing pleas from the industry for a Brexit deal.
