Local TV last night showed a letter from Nanjing to Birmingham City Council
(in who's district Longbridge lies) confirming that they intend to restart
some production at Longbridge, reputedly a press conference on site later
today. Local paper this morning talks about 1000 jobs, 6000 were laid off.
See http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4739616.stm Note the six-month
get-out clause.
