§ Mr. Skeetasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will give the total of British investment in Western Germany 36W at the most recent date available, specifying the percentage thereof attributable to oil refining, petrochemical development and petroleum marketing.
§ Mr. BarberWe have no information on total United Kingdom investment in Western Germany, but according to a West German source United Kingdom investment in West Germany companies had a nominal value of £54 million in 1958. The market value would, of course, be considerably higher. No precise information is available on the second part of the Question, but the major part of United Kingdom investment in Western Germany in recent years has been in the petroleum and petrochemical industries.
