HC Deb 28 January 1975 vol 885 c145W
Mr. Adam Butler

asked the Secretary of State for Industry whether the Chrysler Corporation's decision to build its next new model at its Simca subsidiary in France is contrary in spirit or in fact to its undertakings given to the British Government in 1967 or at any other time in relation to its acquiring shares in Chrysler United Kingdom, originally Rootes.

Mr. Benn

I have recently written to the President of Chrysler Corporation asking for an assessment of the United Kingdom subsidiary's position in relation to Chrysler's European operations generally and the corporation's activities as a whole, and have this point in mind.
