§ 12. Mr. Hal Millerasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what representations he has received from the motor industry relating to fiscal policy in relation to the industry; and what reply he has given.
§ Mr. DellThe Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, the Motor Agents' Association and the Ford Motor Company have written to my right hon. Friend with a number of proposals designed to improve the prospects of the industry. He has replied saying that he will bear their representations in mind.
§ Mr. MillerDoes the right hon. Gentleman understand the dire effect on the motor industry and those employed in it of working below capacity, and do the Government accept that we should try to aim at achieving a constant rate of output in the industry, so far as that is practicable?
§ Mr. DellWe fully understand the difficulties facing the industry at this moment, and we recognise that it is desirable that the industry should increase its production.
