HC Deb 16 February 1981 vol 999 c47W
Mr. Bright

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what discussions have taken place between his Department and General Motors about increased investment in the United Kingdom and, in particular, at Luton.

Mr. Michael Marshall

We were informed by the corporation about its investment intentions in the United Kingdom in advance of the recent statement by Mr. F. J. McDonald, president of General Motors, in which he announced that the corporation has approved investments of about £75 million over the next three years covering all United Kingdom plants, including Luton. The Department does of course have regular discussions with Vauxhall Motors on specific projects.
