HC Deb 30 April 1986 vol 96 c404W
Mr. Amess

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what representations he has had from motor traders, importers, manufacturers, retailers and car leasing companies on the proposals to change car prefix dates from August to October; and what proportion of those supports this move and what proportion opposes it.

Mr. Michael Spicer

The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, its British manufacturer members, and large distributor members representing both British and importer franchises support the change to October. The other interests referred to by my hon. Friend generally oppose it.
