HC Deb 18 March 1991 vol 188 c33W
25. Mr. Martyn Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what steps have been taken to encourage inward investment into Wales over the last 12 months.

Mr. David Hunt

Welsh Development International has continued to strengthen its activities. This has been reflected in record results for last year when 142 projects were secured promising some 16,000 jobs and capital investment of almost £640 million. I led an inward investment mission to Japan in November during which three new projects were announced.
