The government appears to have deleted a reference in an official document to plans by the vacuum-maker Dyson to develop an electric car.

The Guardian reported on Wednesday that government documents had revealed the British company was working on a battery electric vehicle with help from taxpayers' money. The government's National infrastructure delivery plan said the project was expected to create more than 500 jobs and generate 182m of investment.
