The future of the sector is clear and its EVs - the industrial strategy needs to put in place the policies to support the sector to transition and retain (and create) jobs

I'm sorry that you were disappointed but I hope if you get chance to read the full report you'll see that we're absolutely not careless about good jobs, quite the opposite. We're urging government to put the right industrial strategy in place to protect those good jobs.

Hi Antonia, thanks for your comment and sorry this came across as glib which was not the intention. Lazy phrasing but the "door opening" we mean is for the auto industry to transition to EVs w/ industrial strategy support. Were clear the priority is retaining these (+creating new) jobs in the sector

OK o get you - it's slightly more complicated because you pay IT and NI on different things or in tax speak they have different "bases". IT covers all income (including rental income and pensions) whereas you only pay NI on earned income. So it's not just about aligning the rates basically.
