HC Deb 05 July 1989 vol 156 c213W
50. Mr. Salmond

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement on the Government's performance regarding the attraction of inward investment to Scotland since 1979.

Mr. Lang

Since 1979 Scotland has enjoyed very significant success as a location for inward investment thanks to Government policies which have re-established the United Kingdom as a place in which enterprise is welcome and can flourish, and to the effectiveness of the one-door approach to inward investment operated by Locate in Scotland since it was set up in 1981.
