HC Deb 18 November 1946 vol 430 cc37-8W
112. Dr. Jeger

asked the Minister of Supply if he is aware that Vauxhall Motors, Luton, are now planning to re- duce substantially their output of motor cars in 1947 on the ground that their allocation of steel will be insufficient to produce the output originally announced; and if he will give the figures of this allocation for last quarter and next quarter.

Mr. Wilmot

Unfortunately, supplies of sheet steel will not permit this firm to expand its output as much as was hoped. It would not be desirable to give allocations to individual firms.
