§ Mr. Edelmanasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what recent advise he has given to the British motor manufacturing industry to improve their capacity and cost efficiency in the light of the increasing penetration of the British market by foreign competitors.
§ Mr. Anthony GrantThe motor manufacturers are continuously engaged in seeking improvements in their efficiency. The Department discusses future demand and other matters bearing on capacity regularly with the industry. A long period of uninterrupted production would do more than anything else to help the companies' efforts to meet home and export demand.
