HC Deb 10 December 1973 vol 866 cc9-10W
48. Mr. McMaster

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will take steps to limit the import of foreign manufactured motor vehicles into the United Kingdom from Europe and the Far East by imposing special import duties and/or quota controls, respectively, and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Chataway

No, Sir. The most effective means of enabling the British car industry to increase its share of the British market would be a long period of high uninterrupted production.
