My hon. Friend will be pleased to learn that Spain has committed herself to introducing VAT before the end of next year. I hope that that will be an improvement. British Leyland has been allocated nearly one fifth of the reduced duty quota for small cars, which will enjoy the biggest cuts in duties, and one tenth of the quota for larger cars. British Leyland has done as well as any company in that regard. I recall the warm welcome that my hon. Friend gave to the agreement on 15 March.
