Brown considers ways of ensuring car loans

6 March 2009

The Government "will do what it can to help" the car industry, Prime Minister Gordon Brown has said.

As the RAC reports, the Prime Minister intends to take action to ensure the car loans market does not `freeze`. The Government, he said, has been in talks with firms about the assistance the industry may need so it can survive the recession.

Mr Brown replied: "There are two issues facing the car industry at the moment: one is a shortage of demand for cars, the second is the availability of credit for people buying their cars.

"The car credit problem – that is loans for car purchase – it`s basically a market that is outside the traditional banking industry."

The Government is making efforts to find ways to "get help into the car loan industry" he added.
