LONDON: The British government’s promises to Japanese carmaker Nissan open the door to a special deal for Scotland if Britain leaves the European Union (EU), Scottish nationalists said.

Nissan said it would build two new models in Britain, after what a source described to Reuters as a promise of aid from Prime Minister Theresa May’s government to counter any loss of competitiveness caused by Brexit.
