HC Deb 16 July 1996 vol 281 c457W
Sir Irvine Patnick

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what is the total amount of inward investment into(a) the United Kingdom and (b) Yorkshire for each of the last three years; if he will list the figures by country of origin; and if he will make a statement. [36885]

Mr. Eggar

Data on the value of inward direct investment into the United Kingdom as a whole, broken down by the country of origin, are regularly published by the Office for National Statistics in "Business Monitor MA4, Overseas Direct Investment" (table 2.4), a copy of which is available in the Library of the House. These figures are not collected on a county basis.
