Mr. Deakins

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if it is the policy of his Department to encourage the continued expansion of domestic car production for the home market.

Mr. Anthony Grant

Yes, to enable manufacturers to meet the demand for cars in the domestic market, to encourage increased production for export and to sustain employment in the industry.

British manufacturers are planning a substantial increase in total production of cars in 1973 both for the home and export markets.
