Lord West of Spithead Excerpts

Wednesday 19th March 2014 Lords Chamber

[Viscount Younger of Leckie]

That is a very specific question from my noble friend; I will write to him with an answer.

[Lord West of Spithead (Lab)]

My Lords, do we get pull-through from our amazing British innovation and skill in the F1 arena, where we are world leaders, into our automotive industry?

[Viscount Younger of Leckie]

Yes, indeed we do. That gives me a chance to applaud the Formula 1 and car industry in this country, where we are number one in the world.
