HC Deb 22 January 1992 vol 202 c241W
Mr. Campbell-Savours

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what action it is the policy of Her Majesty's Government to take in respect of proposals by non-EC companies to close down manufacturing plants in the United Kingdom which provide for the strategic needs of the public sector.

Mr. Leigh

Individual cases are considered on their merits; but in general decisions on the future of manufacturing plants are for the directors of the company concerned.
