HC Deb 17 March 1994 vol 239 c841W
20. Mr. Simon Coombs

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make a statement on the current level of inward investment in Northern Ireland.

Mr. Tim Smith

So far this year the Industrial Development Board has secured seven new inward investment projects involving a total investment of approximately £213 million and promising 1,476 new jobs. I am confident that there will be further announcements before the end of the financial year.
