§ Mr. Maddenasked the Secretary of State for Industry what steps he has taken concerning the level of purchases of British cars by driving schools.
§ Mr. CryerI understand that preliminary returns from a survey just being completed by the Motor Schools' Association suggest that there has been a significant increase over the last two years in the proportion of British built cars being purchased by driving schools, and that over three-quarters of the cars bought by driving schools covered by the survey are now from British manufacturers. I am naturally delighted that British cars are reasserting their traditional strength and popularity among driving schools.
