We are the largest investor in automotive research and development and engineering in this country and as today\u2019s announcement shows, we generate billions of pounds of economic activity here every year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018Very welcome\u2019<br \/><\/strong><br \/>He added: \u201cAlongside the 1,500 new jobs created in Halewood to support the launch of the new Evoque, Jaguar Land Rover is investing in advanced research, design and technical innovation with key strategic partners which together with today\u2019s \u00a32bn of contract announcements will mean the creation of thousands more skilled jobs in the UK automotive supply chain.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe billions being spent on Evoque is just the start, with 40 significant product actions coming over the next five years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The announcement was welcomed by the union Unite.<\/p>\n<p>Roger Maddison, national officer of Unite, said: \u201cWe very much welcome the creation of new manufacturing jobs, they are desperately needed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTata the parent company of Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) are to be congratulated for their commitment to the UK.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe workforce also deserves much credit for the role they played in helping the company weather the recession.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said the government could not take credit for the investment, however, as it was secured under the last Labour government with a \u00a32bn investment from the parent company Tata.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cNobody will be fooled about where the credit for today goes.
