My hon. Friend will know that the new Spanish quotas have been open for only four weeks. They allow for 5,000 cars between 1275cc and 1600cc, and 10,000 cars of a higher cubic capacity, of which British Leyland has a large quota. I entirely agree with my hon. Friend that the position is not satisfactory, but it is a considerable improvement and was widely welcomed by the House when announced earlier this year.
