HC Deb 11 December 1978 vol 960 cc48-9W
Mr. Hoyle

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what estimate he has made of the cost of sanctions to Ford (UK) over the next year; for their duration how many vehicles will be involved in lost orders; if any orders have already been withdrawn; and if any Ford tenders which would under normal circumstances have proved acceptable, have been rejected as a result of Government sanctions.

Mr. Joel Barnett:

I will let my hon. Friend have a reply as soon as possible.

Mr. Hoyle

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many public sector contracts has Ford (UK) received in each of the last five years; what was the total value of the contracts in each year; and how many contracts were of value in excess of £135,000.

Mr. Joel Barnett:

I regret that this information cannot be provided without a disproportionate expenditure of time and resources.
