HC Deb 13 May 1935 vol 301 c1355
2. Mr. HALES

asked the Secretary of State for India whether he has received information as to the proposed establishment of a German automobile factory in Bombay with an estimated output of 15,000 motor cars and 1,000 motor omnibuses annually; and, if not, whether he will take immediate steps to obtain further information on the subject?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA (Mr. Butler)

I have seen a Press report, but have no further information. The Government of India will be asked for a report.

Mr. HALES

Will the hon. Gentleman take the earliest opportunity of getting the required information having regard to its serious effect on British motor cars?

Mr. BUTLER

I have said that we will seek the information.
