HC Deb 14 February 1985 vol 73 c269W
Mr. Campbell-Savours

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many industrial national inquiries have been directed to (a) his Department and (b) the Northern Ireland Industrial Development Board during the last month for which statistics are available.

Dr. Boyson

The hon. Member's question has been interpreted as referring to inquiries from outside Northern Ireland about possible industrial investment in the Province. All such inquiries are referred to the Industrial Development Board for Northern Ireland. The IDB received 18 firm inquiries from companies outside Northern Ireland during January 1985.
