HC Deb 11 February 1997 vol 290 c168W
Dr. Hendron

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what level of(a) public and (b) private investment has been secured for the constituency of Belfast, West (i) since 10 April 1992 and (ii) between 10 June 1983 and 10 April 1992. [14359]

Mr. Ancram

From the information available, it is estimated that since financial year 1992–93 direct departmental public investment commitments in the Belfast, West constituency are £406 million, and related private sector investment is £162 million.

Corresponding figures for the period 1983–84 to 1991–92 are not entirely complete as expenditure on a number of Government programmes is not available for the entire period. Available figures indicate direct departmental public investment commitments were £172 million and related private sector investment was £112 million.
