LONDON, Feb 16 (Reuters) - British business minister Greg Clark said he had been reassured by General Motors (NYSE:GM) GM.N that the firm did not intend to "rationalise" its Vauxhall operations in the UK, after a meeting held to discuss GM's merger talks with France's PSA PEUP.PA .
"There is some way to go in discussions between GM and PSA but I was reassured by GM's intention, communicated to me, to build on the success of these operations rather than rationalise them," Clark said in a statement. "We will continue to be in close contact with GM and PSA in the days and weeks ahead."
