§ Mr. HardyTo ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will list the 10 largest industrial or commercial developments in England which resulted from inward investment since 1993; and, in each case, what estimate he has made of the number of jobs created and the average cost to public funds for each of these jobs. [37637]
§ Mr. Page[holding answer 18 July 1996]: A full answer can be given only at disproportionate cost. Inward investment includes takeovers, expansions and joint ventures as well as new greenfield projects. Not all these will be eligible for public assistance.
