HC Deb 03 December 1981 vol 14 c199W
Mr. Cryer

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he has received any further applications for financial assistance from the De Lorean Car Co. Ltd. of Dunmurry, Northern Ireland.

Mr. Adam Butler

The Government have received no further applications for additional funding from the De Lorean Car Co. Ltd., but the company has recently requested an extension of guarantee in respect of £10 million of bank borrowings. The current guarantees, in respect of £17 million of bank borrowings, expire on 31 December 1981. The request is being considered.
