HC Deb 11 December 1974 vol 883 c178W
Mr. Viggers

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will take special steps to mitigate the difficulties of British industry as exemplified by the present position of British Leyland.

Mr. Dell

My right hon. Friend announced measures to assist company liquidity and profitability in his recent Budget. As my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Industry made clear in the discussion following his statement on BLMC on 6th December, it would be wrong to deduce from its special problems a general conclusion about British industry as a whole.
