Mr. Sedgemore
asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he has any proposals for preventing rising unemployment in the motor car and construction industries.
Dr. Gilbert
We have already assisted British Leyland with a bank guarantee of £50 million.

The Government are keeping the position in both these industries under constant review.
