§ Mr. Spenceasked the Secretary of State for Industry what information he has as to the proportion of Vauxhall Cavalier and Astra motor cars which are wholly manufactured in the United Kingdom and the proportion that are mainly assembled from kits imported from outside the United Kingdom; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. ButcherThere are no Vauxhall Cavalier or Astra cars wholly manufactured in the United Kingdom. However, according to information provided by the company, just over half of the Cavaliers and Astras sold in this country during 1982 were assembled at Vauxhall's United Kingdom plants, with the remainder imported. The proportion of United Kingdom assembled Cavaliers and Astras is expected to increase during 1983.
