HC Deb 11 November 1969 vol 791 c69W
Mr. David Price

asked the Minister of Technology when the domestic production of passengers cars, including taxis, for the home market will reach the annual output of 1,161,886 units achieved in 1964.

Dr. Ernest A. Davies

On the assumptions that no credit or fiscal changes occur in the interim, and that present underlying trends continue, the 1964 rate of output of cars for the home market is likely to be exceeded within two years.

Export production reached record levels last year and continues to increase. Total production should surpass 1964 in 1970.
