HC Deb 29 April 1985 vol 78 c53W
Mr. Teddy Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, pursuant to his reply of 4 April, Official Report, column 752, why he was unable to provide information on the percentage of Japanese direct investment in the European Economic Community which came to the United Kingdom in 1983; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Norman Lamont

The figures given in the reply were drawn from overseas publications, namely the United States survey of current business and the JapaneseBalance of Payments Monthly. These were the latest figures available to my Department.
