  Free movement of EU workers ‘critical’ for UK car industry 16 Nov 2017 (News)
  Hence they are forced to look further afield.” Presenting detailed analysis to a committee of MPs, Ford also voiced concerns over a re-introduction of traditional border controls between the UK and the rest of Europe.

  Fuel prices tumble again as petrol nears £1 a litre 12 Jan 2015 (News)
  The reduction comes as global oil prices continue to plummet, with Brent crude falling from $110 per barrel in June 2014 to $48 in January 2015. As a result, petrol and diesel prices have been reduced by as much as 23p-per-litre, since September, with further cuts expected as overproduction  of oil and gas in the USA and Middle East continue.  In a publicity push, one midlands' retailer has grabbed the headlines by offering petrol at 99p-per-litre, which marks the first sub-£1 pump price for six years; however, experts cast doubt on the longevity of the offer, with high taxation making it difficult to make a profit  at such prices.  "Harvest Energy's 99p per litre is the lowest we’re aware of and it is hard to see how they can be making a profit as the cost of wholesale fuel needs to come down at the same time," said Simon Williams of the RAC.
