Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

exorted to buy British products, not just to boost the economy, but also to help employment. We even had a campaign to make us show how patriotic we were — remember "I'm backing Britain"? The Prime Minister also boasts of the improvement in quality in British goods. So why does the British Army have to use German tank transporters?

I refer to the story in your Artist's impression of AWD's proposed tank transporter: a British truck for British tanks?

Headlines section (CM 14-20 April). What is more ironic is that in the same issue, you state AWD is to build its own tank transporter.

What is it about the British that makes us shoot ourselves in the foot? People must like British trucks, otherwise companies like ERF would not be enjoying such a renaissance. Did the British Army ask them to build a tank transporter? And what about Scarnmell?

If the Government expects us to buy British, why don't they practice what they preach? Roger Marchhank Swindon, Wiltshire.
