MOTOR EXPORTS
BRITISH PROVISION MAINTAINING OUTPUT (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. The wartime conditions will not diminish Britain’s output of motorvehicles for export, according to Mr. William E. the president of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders of the United Kingdom. “The British motor industry will continue to supply the demands of the overseas markets and these exports will be an important contribution toward paying for Britain’s vital wartime import needs,” said Mr. Rootes in a statement issued 'to the press yesterday. This policy was the outcome of a series of conferences in which representatives of the Board of Trade, the Department of Overseas Trade and material controllers of the Ministry of Supply participated. The result, said Mr. Rootes, was that the huge potential production of the British motor industry had been so organised that overseas customers were now assured of supplies, both of cars and commercial vehicles, the arrangement being to meet fully all orders for export. The export interests of the industry were, therefore, safeguarded as far as possible in the existing circumstances.
