Mr. Heseltine
asked the Secretary of State for Industry what plans he has to nationalise the British motor industry.
Mr. Meacher
The motor vehicle industry includes hundreds of firms and there are no plans to nationalise it. Where, however, a motor vehicle company or any other company receives selective financial assistance from public funds the Government reserve the right in appropriate cases to provide such assistance in the form of share capital.
