§ Mr. Teddy TaylorTo ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what information he has received from the European Economic Community Commission about the respective responses of the French and United Kingdom Governments to the representation and instructions issued by the Commission on British Leyland and Renault cars respectively.
§ Mr. AtkinsThe United Kingdom's 1988 state aid application in respect of the Rover Group was the subject of a Commission decision on 13 July 1988. The Commission has the right to monitor certain aspects arising out of the decision and I have no reason to believe that it is other than satisfied with the current position. In the Renault case I understand that discussions are continuing between the Commission and the French Government on the implementation of the conditions attached to the Commission's decision of 29 March 1988.
