T NAIDED the motor industry could have cleared up Britain's balance of payments roblem if it had not been for the "stop, stop, :op" imposed over the years by successive overnments, Sir Patrick Hennessy, president of SMMT, told members and guests at the ociety's annual banquet in London on Tuesday.
In a speech which drew thunderous support e castigated the Government for measures rhich had caused chaos in the industry "whether y misjudgment or design I don't know—and 'm not sure that they do." If a doctor could not o good—even a Government doctor—then we just try and stop it doing harm, said Sir 'atrick.
In the past two years the Government had aken an additional £3,400m. in taxes and evenue, and had spent only an extra £2,000m., 'et Britain was told that there was no money for uch vital export needs as new roads linking idustry and docks direct, he asserted.
