HC Deb 09 December 1985 vol 88 c430W
Mr. Hoyle

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he will make it his policy that nationalised transport industries should develop sources of supply from United Kingdom companies rather than looking to overseas manufacturing companies to provide their requirements for equipment.

Mr. Ridley

Nationalised industries are expected to follow the Government's purchasing policy, which encourages them to buy British goods provided that the products and prices are right.
