HC Deb 07 December 1981 vol 14 c293W
18. Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for industry whether he was consulted before British Leyland wok its decision to dispose of Guy Motors Ltd. in Wolverhampton.

Mr. Wakeham

Responsibility for taking decisions on commercial matters rests with the board of BL. On this basis the company made its decision to close the Guy Motors plant at Wolverhampton and neither my right hon. Friend nor I was consulted.
