HC Deb 24 May 1938 vol 336 c1060W
Mr. Levy

asked the President of the Board of Trade what is the value at which a German Opel cadet car is retailed in Germany; and what is the value at which the same car is retailed in this country?

Mr. Stanley:

I understand that the retail price of the Cadet Standard car is 1,795 marks in Germany and £135 in this country.

Mr. Levy

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is prepared to ask the Import Duties Advisory Committee to undertake a special inquiry into the effect of the importation of German motor cars into this country, taking into consideration all factors including that of subsidy, and to make a recommendation?

Mr. Stanley:

On the information at present available I do not think that there are sufficient grounds for adopting my hon. Friend's suggestion.
