12.00.00am BST (GMT +0100) Wed 9th Jun 2010

Commenting on the Prime Minister's announcement that the £20m grant to Nissan will go ahead, Liberal Democrat MEP for the North East, Fiona Hall, said:

"I welcome the Coalition Government's decision to approve the £20m grant to Nissan's Sunderland plant. This is great news for the budding electric vehicle industry in the North East and confirms the Liberal Democrat-Conservative coalition's commitment to support green business in the region."

"This grant, together with the European Investment Bank loan, will help to safeguard important jobs in the North East and further the region's ambition of becoming a manufacturing hub for green vehicles and technologies."
