50m saved is 50 less tax
It's part of the EU rules that we have to open it up, so blame the EU :-)
Seriously though, this will be another May u-turn and it'll be given to a UK company in the end.

The firm who currently produces UK passports does it in Gateshead
£500m will pay the wages for a lot of people in Gateshead for a long time and they will all pay income tax, they will buy luxuries and pay VAT. They will buy houses and pay stamp duty. They will drive cars and pay road tax. They will raise children who will go on to care for our old people and pay tax and NI themselves. I'm pretty sure all that tax will far exceed 10% of their income. I certainly pay more than 10% tax. £450m to France just disappears and those people in Gateshead who lose their jobs will stop paying tax and start claiming benefits.
Christ I'm beginning to sound like a leave voter now. Maybe Corbyn is right about brexit.

But that £450m doesn't vanish
The French will buy some British roast beef with it.

Why would we do that?
Rather buy a Lotus, a Rover or a Vauxhall.
