WITH reference to John Fray’s letter (Oxford Mail, November 1) doubting whether it would have been possible without an EUGerman relationship at the Mini plant in Cowley, how about the very successful Japanese firm Nissan in Sunderland who are increasing production by 20 per cent and sourcing 80 per cent of their parts in the UK?

Japan is not in the EU and are still investing heavily in Britain!
