HC Deb 03 May 1977 vol 931 c89W
Mr. Grieve

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what measures he proposes to encourage the British motor industry to place contracts with the British pattern making industry instead of with the industry's German competitors.

Mr. Les Huckfield

The British motor industry is already encouraged to obtain its requirements for plant and equipment from United Kingdom sources wherever possible. If the hon. and learned Gentleman has any particular cases in mind I would be pleased to hear from him.
