HC Deb 16 June 1938 vol 337 c405W
Mr. Lyons

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he proposes to take any further steps for the more effective protection of the Home motor-car industry?

Mr. Stanley

I am not yet in a position to make a statement on the representations which have been made to me. I would remind my hon. and learned Friend that the rate of duty on foreign motor cars is 33⅓ per cent. and that imports of motor cars last year were equal to 4½ per cent. of the domestic output.
