§ Mr. Wigleyasked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will publish his forecast for each quarter for 1982 of the change in demand for (a) new motor vehicles, (b) new commercial vehicles and (c) replacement parts for vehicles on which his economic forecasts for 1982 depend.
§ Mr. WakehamThere are no official forecasts. Provisional forecasts as are available from the Society of Motor manufactures and Traders suggest small increases—of up to 5 per cent.—between 1981 and 1982 in the number of registrations of new cars and new commercial vehicles.
