HC Deb 30 January 1967 vol 740 c31W
Mr. Rowland

asked the Minister of Technology, in view of the application by Chryslers to obtain control of Rootes, what assurances have been sought of Chryslers, and have been given, concerning the freedom of Rootes to sell in any market in the world.

Mr. Benn

I would refer my hon. Friend to the OFFICIAL REPORT for 17th January, which contains the text of the letters I have exchanged with Mr. I. J. Minett of the Chrysler Corporation. Undertaking (iv) states that "Chrysler plans to achieve a progressive increase in the export of Rootes products without restriction to all practicable markets and to continue to make available it full international organisation for this purpose".—[739, c. 34–47.]
