HC Deb 06 November 1992 vol 213 cc470-1W
Mr. Richards

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what measures are being taken to attract outside investment into Clwyd.

Mr. David Hunt

Considerable success continues to be achieved in attracting inward investment to Clwyd, and 47 projects were recorded in 1991–92 promising over 2,300 jobs. A wide range of measures will continue to be taken to build on that success, including the provision of industrial sites and infrastructure, and targeted approaches to companies. A conference on EC research and development has been arranged to take place in Clwyd shortly which will help to focus interest in the county from other parts of Europe.
