§ Mr. Peter MorrisonThe latest figures available from the United States Department of Commerce show that in 1984 the United Kingdom had a 36 per cent. share of accumulated United States foreign direct investment into the European Community, excluding oil. Including oil, this figure rises to 41 per cent., equivalent to over $32.1 billion of investment.
These figures and other reporting on the United Kingdom's significant success in attracting inward investment are published in the Invest in Britain Bureau's annual report for 1985. A copy of the report is available in the House of Commons Library.
