union without an agreement. the german motor manufacturer says it will have to consider moving production away from its current base in oxfordd that a no—deal brexit would make it "extremely complicated" to build new models in the uk. our business editor simonjack has more details. cowley in oxford is the home of the mini. and although it's now german—owned as a model and as a brand, it doesn't get much more british than this. a new mini drives off the production line here every minute. but bmw warned today that moving production out of the uk was an option in a no—deal brexit scenario. the key in these times is definitely flexibility. we are prepared for a lot of scenarios. we are very flexible in the production, we've pulled forwards some production interruptions, but we also have a plan b if things are changing. so, we will see what the outcome is, but bmw will answer with flexibility. this isn't the first warning from mini's owner, bmw, but it's perhaps the starkest language, the strongest tone we've heard from this company about the potential consequences of a no—deal brexit. it won't be news to the government. the busi
