    It’s based on SMMT figures reported in one of the Daily Mail publications.

      Investment in UK car industry will crash by half this year | This is Money
      A fair bit of speculation and second-guessing in that report though.
      Few if any hard figures.

      Nothing that chimes anywhere close to sas's original statement anyway.

      Quelle surprise?

            I know your brain cell glazes over where numbers are concerned.
            Either that or you don't comprehend basic English.
            Hate to quote the Mail but:

            "Last year saw £1.66 billion invested in the industry, but figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), seen by The Mail on Sunday, show just £647.4 million of investment has been tracked by the body so far this year".

            The BBC News yesterday said there'll shortly be a meeting at 10 Downing Street between reps of the car industry and May.
            Wonder what she'll promise them this time.
            Hard Brexit now!

                Insert standard Donald Trump responses:
                Fake news, not hard figures, etc.

                  Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
