HC Deb 21 February 1985 vol 73 c566W
66. Mr. William Powell

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is satisfied with the level of capital investment in the United Kingdom economy.

Mr. Peter Rees

There was a very substantial rise in the level of capital investment in the United Kingdom in 1984, including a 12¼ per cent. rise in manufacturing and services investment, and the prospects are for substantial further growth in 1985.
