The UK has won a crucial Brexit battle with Spain as a manufacturing giant is set to announce a new multi-billion-pound electric car battery plant in Somerset which will create 9,000 jobs.
The chairman of Tata Group, who owns Jaguar and Land Rover, is scheduled to fly to London next week to finalise details about the new plant.
They are also expected to meet the Prime Minister at some point next week.
Car industry experts have hailed the new plant as the most significant automotive investment in the UK since Nissan came to Britain in the 1980s.
The new Bridgewater site, near to the M5, would create roughly 9,000 jobs.
