HC Deb 10 February 1976 vol 905 cc151-2W
Mr. Madden

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what information is available to his Department about the transfer of machinery and equipment from Chrysler, Maidstone, to other Chrysler plants; what is the age of this machinery and equipment; what is the total cost of this machinery; and what payment is to be made to Chrysler, Maidstone.

Mr. Kaufman

I understand that the machinery and equipment to be transferred from Maidstone is mostly between five and 25 years old. It is now and will continue to be the property of Chrysler United Kingdom Limited and no payment is involved. The question, therefore, of the cost of the machinery and of a payment to be made does not arise.
