§ 114. Mr. Adam Butlerasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what was the approximate number of cars not produced by the United Kingdom automobile industry during 1970 as a result of industrial disputes in that or associated industries, and what is the ratio 26W of this lost production to cars actually produced.
§ Mr. RidleyNo detailed figures are available, but it is estimated that up to one-seventh of production may have been lost in 1970 as the result of disputes. A proportion of this loss would have been made good when normal working was resumed.
