Responding to comments made by Labour’s economy minister on the car industry in Wales, Welsh Conservative Shadow Economy Minister Paul Davies MS, said:
“The car manufacturing industry is a hugely important sector in Wales, not only as a driver of economic growth, but because of the skills and jobs it creates.
“Rather than focusing on petty constitutional debates and ramping up an unnecessary anti-car agenda, it’s high time the Welsh Labour Government started to fly the flag for the Welsh car industry.
“Wales needs real leadership on attracting new inward investment into our manufacturing industry or we run the risk of missing out vital new jobs and our industry being left in the shadow of other parts of Britain.”
