HC Deb 18 April 1983 vol 41 c15W
13. Mr. Les Huckfield

asked the Secretary of State for Industry whether he will make a statement about his future plans for funding British Leyland.

Mr. Norman Lamont

As I announced to the House on 28 February, the Government have approved BL's 1983 corporate plan and its associated funding requirement. This means that, in addition to the remaining £100 million of the £990 million previously approved, a final sum of up to £100 million will be made available to BL if needed during 1983 and 1984 provided performance has been satisfactory.
