asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what representations he has received from trade unions calling for a meeting to discuss the possible closure of the Belfast De Lorean plant.

I met officials and shop stewards of the unions involved in the De Lorean plant on 28 May and discussed with them the position of the company.

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make a statement on the current situation of the De Lorean Car Company.

The joint receivers and managers suspended production and made almost all employees redundant on 31 May 1982. The receivers and managers are discussing with a United Kingdom consortium and with Mr. De Lorean proposals which might lead to an eventual resumption of production in Dunmurry. The former workers al the plant have organised a sit-in and picket at the company's premises and are preventing dispatch by the receivers and managers of spare parts and components.
