The, existing level of industry plan provides for a maximum production of 20,000 private cars a year in the British zone. Production is controlled by the British Element of the Commission and is at present limited to Volkswagen. The cars are used for official purposes by the occupying forces and the Control Commission. Sales are made to British and American personnel, Allied Missions, U.N.R.R.A., and to those Germans who can prove an essential need. For the selling prices of the car I would refer to the answer which I gave to the hon. Member for Eastbourne (Mr. C. S. Taylor) on 29th January.
