HC Deb 01 February 1968 vol 757 c401W
69. Mr. Silvester

asked the Minister of Technology what discussions he has had regarding the future of the Dunton Engineering and Design Centre with the Ford Motor Company; whether he is satisfied that the Company's plans are in accordance with assurances given for the development of the British company by its United States owners; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Benn

Though I have had no specific discussions about the future of the Dunton Engineering and Design Centre with the Ford Motor Company I have consulted it informally on future plans and have no reason to doubt that these are in accordance with assurances given in November, 1960.
