HC Deb 15 June 1978 vol 951 c626W
Mr. Kenneth Clarke

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what studies his Department is carrying out of investment by British companies overseas.

Mr. Cryer

The Department has completed a pilot study which has indicated that a full research project aimed at obtaining more information on the reasons for investing overseas will need particularly careful design and management. On the basis of this preliminary work, the Department hopes to proceed with the full project as soon as possible.
