HC Deb 25 January 1988 vol 126 c24W
Sir Ian Gilmour

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether the Government, as vendors of Leyland trucks to DAF, gave any undertaking or warranty in respect of Government contracts yet to be performed, including the demountable rack off-loading pick-up systems contract; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Atkins

The commercial aspects of the merger of Leyland Trucks and Freight Rover with DAF of Holland were a matter for the Rover Group. Neither they nor Her Majesty's Government gave any warranties of undertakings on future business.
