HC Deb 30 June 1980 vol 987 c416W
18. Dr Glyn

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will list the powers of central Government to control purchasing of foreign vehicles by public authorities and publicly-funded bodies.

Mr. Adam Butler

There is no specific power which enables my right hon. Friend to control purchasing of foreign vehicles by public authorities and publicly-funded bodies, but I am sure that such authorities and bodies have regard to the country's industrial and economic interests in making their purchasing decisions.
