§ Mr. HunterTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether Government statistics on investment in United Kingdom industry differentiate between domestic investment and investment into the United Kingdom from other countries.
§ Mr. MaplesThe annual census of production provides data on capital expenditure by manufacturing businesses located in the United Kingdom analysed by the country of incorporation of the enterprise. These data are published in Central Statistical Office Business Monitor PA 1002, available in the Library.
No information is however available on the country from which such expenditure is financed. Data on direct investment capital flows are published in CSO bulletin 33/91 also available in the Library. It should be noted that these relate to international flows between related companies and not to investment in capital goods.
