HC Deb 26 July 1985 vol 83 c867W
Mr. Strang

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the total of overseas investment for each of the last four quarters; and what were the comparable figures six years ago.

Mr. Ian Stewart

Overseas investment for the second quarter of 1985 is not yet available. The figures for United Kingdom private investment overseas for the four previous quarters and the corresponding quarters six years ago will be found on page 83 of the June edition of "Economic Trends", published by the CSO. However, the portfolio investment component of the figure for the first quarter of 1985 is revised in the Institutional Investment press notice, published by the CSO on 19 July 1985.
