HC Deb 02 February 1984 vol 53 c273W
Q53. Mr. Norman Atkinson

asked the Prime Minister if, in view of the probable net loss of jobs for British workers, she will now take steps to stop the Nissan deal going ahead.

The Prime Minister

No. My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry announced yesterday the terms on which the Nissan project is to proceed. On that basis, the Government welcome the project which they consider will lead to a net increase, and not a reduction, in jobs in the British motor industry.
