asked the Secretary of State for Industry whether the financial assistance given to British Leyland by Her Majesty's Government was restricted purely to assistance for its car-making operations; and, if not, for what other purposes it was allocated.

The Ryder team was asked to investigate the position of British Leyland as a whole. Its assessment of the capital expenditure requirements of each division of the business is shown in table 141 of the team's report, and its recommendations for a programme of financial support took all these requirements into account.
