asked the Secretary of State for Industry what consultations his Department has had with the Nissan Car Company concerning the location of a Nissan car plant in the United Kingdom; what plans he has for further consultations with the company; if he proposes to visit Nissan in Japan; when he expects to be in a position to make a statement concerning the future of the proposed plant location; and what form such a statement will take.

We continue in touch with the company. On the substance of our discussions, I have nothing to add to my hon. Friend the Minister of State for Industry's reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Bromsgrove and Redditch (Mr. Miller) on 22 March.
