§ Mr. ByersIn April I announced a fund of £12 million to support the Rover supply chain in the West Midlands. This fund will now be available to assist companies in all regions of England who are heavily dependent on the revenue from supplying parts for the Rover 75. Some £5 million remains uncommitted in the fund for this purpose.
