Trade Remedies Authority chief Oliver Griffiths says it is ready to follow EU probe into Chinese imports.

European Commission launched anti-subsidy investigation into Chinese electric vehicles last year .

Britain would have been covered by the inquiry as a member state but has led an independent trade policy since leaving the EU four years ago .

UK car manufacturers have not discussed their concerns with the TRA or requested an investigation into electric vehicle imports from China .

A government spokesperson said: “We’re firmly backing our auto industry with 2bn of capital and R&D funding to 2030 , Tata ’s investment of over 4bn to build a new gigafactory.
