Brexit deal can be 'tweaked' again after Vauxhall maker urges renegotiation, minister suggests
Stellantis, which owns Vauxhall, Citroen, Peugeot and Fiat, told a Commons inquiry that their UK investments hang in the balance due to the terms of the current trade deal.
The company said the Brexit deal was a "threat to our export business and the sustainability of our UK manufacturing operations".
The government previously said that it is "determined" that the UK remains competitive in car manufacturing, but a minister has suggested tweaks to the Brexit deal could be made.
"This is something that is being looked at," roads minister Richard Holden told LBC's Nick Ferrari at Breakfast.
"I'm sure there are further tweaks that could be made. I'm sure it's something the Trade Secretary will be looking at in more detail over the coming months."

All the indications were that Sunak was never sold on net zero and associated baggage, clearly someone's got to him.
