BRITISH CAR OUTPUT
EXPORTING 95 PER CENT QUOTA FOR DOMINION (P.A.) WELLINGTON, Dec. 16. The United Kingdom was exporting 95 per cent, of the cars it produced and New Zealand would be helped insofar as her own dollar shortage was concerned by the availability of British cars. This was stated in an interview today by Colonel I. C. R. Waite, managing director of the Austin Export Corporation, who arrived on a business visit by the Wahine today. He said that the industry was grateful to the New Zealand Government for allowing completed eoachwork to be imported duty free until it was possible for local plants to produce coachwork. Colonel Waite’s visit will take him to the North Island only. Questioned on the winter prospects for the British people Colonel Waite said they would still not get enough domestic fuel. He had just heard from his own household in a locality which had already experienced an 18-degree frost.
