HC Deb 16 January 1974 vol 867 c111W
Mr. Leadbitter

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many new projects have been started in the United Kingdom by firms registered in the other Common Market countries ; how many actual new jobs have been created ; and what is the total value of the projects in terms of actual investment.

Mr. Anthony Grant

Information in the form requested is not available. We are aware of decisions taken last year by over 140 companies with parent companies in other countries, including about 40 in EEC countries, which could eventually provide about 25,000 new jobs. The corresponding figure for companies of EEC origin is about 5,000 jobs.
