HC Deb 14 December 1970 vol 808 c228W
65. Mr. Carter

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will issue a statement on his estimate of the likely effects to the British car industry of Great Britain's entry into the Common Market.

Mr. Ridley

The effects will depend on the industry's response to the opportunities that membership of the E.E.C. would offer. The industry themselves welcome the prospect of Britain joining the Community.
