Mr. Fearn

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what are the latest trends on capital investment by British industry.

Mr. Norman Lamont

[holding answer 15 January 1990]Figures of manufacturing investment up to the third quarter of 1989 are shown at table 1 of the press release CS0(89)147 (Manufacturers' Investment Intentions for 1990 and 1991) issued on 20 December 1989. That release also contains projections of future investment by manufacturers. For non-manufacturing industries, comparable figures to the third quarter 1989 are given in table 3 of the Central Statistical OfficeBusiness Bulletin Issue 16/89. Projections of future investment for these industries are not available. Copies of both documents are available in the Library.
