HYBRID CAR MANUFACTURING IN THE UK

That this House encourages the Government to take heed of the ecological and economic aims behind the Australian government's deal with Toyota to build fuel-efficient hybrid cars; presses the Government to pursue similar objectives to develop a UK-manufactured hybrid car; and calls on the Government to follow Australia's example in negotiating with Japanese and other car manufacturers, to consistently aim to create more opportunities for the UK car industry, particularly in the current ecomomic climate, and in turn to further active concern for the environment.
