## Resource

MPs are pushing to ban Chinese-made cars from the Motability scheme, arguing it unfairly props up foreign manufacturers at the expense of Britain’s struggling auto industry. Motability counters by pledging to double British-built Nissan models by 2030 and aim for half of all leased cars to be UK-made by 2035 — balancing accessibility with domestic manufacturing support.
