§ Mr. Parkasked the Secretary of State for Trade what steps he is taking to impose a definite quota on imports of cars from Japan.
§ Mr. MeacherFollowing exchanges earlier this year with the British car 147W industry, the Japanese Automobile Manufacturers' Association forecast that there would be no conspicuous change in the Japanese share of the British car market. In 1975 Japanese cars accounted for 9.04 per cent. of British registrations, and in the first eleven months of this year for 9.53 per cent. I understand that further discussions between the British and Japanese industries are likely to take place early next year, and I look forward to continuing and effective restraint on imports into Britain from this source.
