§ Mr. RichardsTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list the inward investment projects into Clwyd from outside Wales since 1980; and if he will make a statement. [212]
214W
§ Mr. HagueThe Welsh Development Agency has collected data on inward investment since April 1983. Since then, over 300 projects have been recorded for the country; they promise over 18,000 new jobs, over 5,000 safeguarded jobs, and capital investment of almost £2 billion. Clwyd has been a major beneficiary of Wales's inward investment success.
I have asked the chairman of the Welsh Development Agency to write with a list of projects, and will arrange for a copy of the reply to be placed in the Library of the House.
