HC Deb 19 January 2000 vol 342 c482W
Mr. Hoyle

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will make a statement on car pricing in the UK. [105276]

Mr. Alan Johnson

The Competition Commission is currently investigating the supply of new cars in the United Kingdom. I have no doubt the Commission is looking at car prices as part of its investigation.

The Commission is due to deliver its report to my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State on 31 January. The report will be published as soon as practicable.
