HC Deb 11 July 1979 vol 970 c202W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what action he is taking to get companies in the United Kingdom to purchase British manufactured cars for their employees rather than foreign imports.

Mr. David Mitchell

I take appropriate opportunities to stress to British industry the importance of buying British manufactured goods, including cars, where it makes commercial sense to do so. The Government, however, have no power of compulsion in this matter.
