HC Deb 04 June 1981 vol 5 c408W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will make a statement as to what he expects in terms of local content requirements, such as steel, components, electronics and labour, in respect of the proposed Nissan plant.

Mr. MacGregor

When Nissan's feasibility study was announced it was made clear that the company intended to achieve a very high local content, rising from 60 per cent. at the start of production to 80 per cent. as soon as practicable after full production was reached. I have no reason to believe that the company has changed its attitude.
