HC Deb 30 March 1965 vol 709 c211W
46. Mr. Gregor Mackenzie

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is satisfied with the progress of the earth-moving equipment industry in the country; and if he will make a statement on his policy in the matter.

Mr. Darling

Between 1961 and 1964 manufacturers' deliveries of civil engineering contractors plant to the home market increased by 45 per cent. In the same period, deliveries for export increased by 24 per cent. and I fully expect this increase to continue.
