§ Mr. MilburnTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what has been the change in manufacturing investment in each G7 country in the last year. [12025]
§ Mrs. Angela Knight[holding answer 21 January 1997]: Figures for investment growth in 1996 compared with 1995 are not yet available for any G7 country.
The latest available international comparisons of investment do not cover manufacturing but rather investment by institutional sector and by type of capital good. Figures for each G7 country for 1995 can be found in the OECD publication, "Quarterly National Accounts", which is available in the House of Commons Library.
