§ 48. Mr. Roebuckasked the Minister of Technology whether he will make a statement about his consultations with the Chrysler Corporation regarding their rationalisation and modernisation plans, with particular reference to the proposed closure of a factory in north-west London.
§ Mr. BennMy officials discussed last December Rootes' plans, which had been agreed with the Chrysler Corporation, for rationalisation and expansion of their commercial vehicle activities. No reference was made at that time to the closure of their factory in North-west London, but I was informed by the company of this decision shortly before it was publicly announced.
