Four Wheeled-drive Cars

Jane Kennedy
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will visit the Halewood site of the production of the Land Rover Freelander 2 to discuss with managers and trade union representatives the impact of green taxes on the production of high-performance and four wheeled-drive motor cars with managers and trade union representatives.

John Healey
The Chancellor and I meet with representatives of the vehicle manufacturing industry and trade unions on a regular basis, on a range of issues of common interest. We will happily continue to meet representatives of the motor industries to discuss these issues.
