BMW 'did not seek or get assurances on post Brexit trade' before mini decision

German car giant BMW insists it did not "seek or receive" any assurance from the Government on post-Brexit trade before deciding to build a fully electric version of the Mini in the UK.

The new model's electric drivetrain will be built at BMW plants in Germany before being integrated into the car at Cowley, near Oxford, which employs 4,600 workers.
