HC Deb 15 May 1986 vol 97 c498W
Mr. John Carlisle

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what discussions took place at the meeting between the Minister for Trade and Mr. Robert Stempel of General Motors on 4 May in New York; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Morrison

I met Mr. Stempel of General Motors during my recent visit to the United States of America. The meeting had been arranged many weeks earlier as one of several with United States companies. The visit was a useful opportunity to maintain normal good contacts between the Department and American companies which have significant investment in the United Kingdom.
