HC Deb 03 March 1947 vol 434 c1W
6 and 7. Mr. Shawcross

asked the Minister of Supply (1) what number of private motor cars it is planned to export in 1947, 1948, 1949, 1950 and 1951;

(2) what proportion in value of the total export trade he intends the export of private motorcars should take during the next five years or other long-term period.

Mr. Wilmot

It is not possible to make any long-term forecast of the volume of motorcar exports. The export proportion is determined in close consultation with the Board of Trade and the industry and the importance of securing the maximum contribution to our export trade is fully appreciated.
