HC Deb 30 January 1985 vol 72 c212W
44. Mr. Yeo

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what representations he has received regarding the difficulties of exporting British manufactured cars to Spain.

Mr. Channon

During the past 12 months I have received a number of letters from Members Parliament, trade associations and manufacturers about exporting cars to Spain. I have also met representatives of the United Kingdom car industry on several occasions as part of a regular exchange of views on this subject. Agreement was reached last month between the Community and Spain on improved access to the Spanish car market after she joins the Community. The details were contained in a written answer on 19 December to my hon. Friend the Member for Ashford (Mr. Speed).
