Mr. Donald Stewart

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what proportion of new car sales is attributable to overseas suppliers in (a) the United Kingdom and, (b) Scotland.

In 1972 and the first quarter of 1973 imported cars formed 23.5 and 24.6 per cent. respectively of new cars sold in the United Kingdom, as measured by numbers of car registrations published by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders Ltd. Similar estimates for Scotland alone are not available.
