HC Deb 24 July 1985 vol 83 cc571-2W
Mr. Pike

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what proposals his Department has received from Ford to increase the United Kingdom manufactured percentage of its share of the United Kingdom car market.

Mr. Butcher

Ford has recently reconfirmed its commitment to raise the British-built share of its car sales here but much depends on the company's success in improving the performance of its car plants in Britain.
