Orders of the Day — British Leyland

Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at 10:15 pm on 29 October 1981.

Alert me about debates like this

I urge the Government to intervene and to talk to trade union representatives and directors. The Secretary of State has admitted during this short debate that he has already been talking to Sir Michael Edwardes. He referred to what Sir Michael told him. Why will the right hon. Gentleman not talk to trade union representatives in an attempt to prevent the closure of British Leyland?
