HC Deb 04 February 1974 vol 868 c233W
Mr. Leslie Huckfield

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what further research he plans into the causes of interruptions to production in the British car industry.

Mr. Scott

My right hon. Friend welcomes the recommendation in the recent report by the National Economic Development Office for a study into the causes of interruption to production in the car industry. He would always be prepared to consider any research proposals which were put to him but considers that in the first instance this is a matter for NEDO and the parties in the car industry.

Mr. Leslie Huckfield

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he will publish the study undertaken by his Department in 1969 about interruptions to production in four British car manufacturing plants.

Mr. Scott

My Department did not undertake such a study in 1969.
