HC Deb 01 March 1976 vol 906 c439W
Mr. Tebbit

asked the Secretary of State for Industry from what source he obtained the multiplier figure he used in estimating the total potential loss of jobs that would have arisen from the threatened collapse of Chrysler United Kingdom Limited.

Mr. Kaufman

It was estimated that job losses could total 55,000 on the assumption that Chrysler's share of the United Kingdom market would be taken by British and imported vehicles in proportion to existing market shares. This estimate did not include job losses other than in Chrysler United Kingdom Limited, its distributors and component suppliers.
