§ Mr. Ronnie CampbellTo ask the President of the Board of Trade how many inward investment projects in Northumberland and Blyth valley were begun in each year since 1990.
§ Mr. SainsburyIn 1990, 13 overseas companies decided to invest in Northumberland with one of those investments being made in Blyth. The figures for 1991 are five and one respectively. Figures for 1992 are not yet available. These figures do not include relocations from other regions of the United Kingdom.
36WThese figures are based on information provided by the companies at the time of the announcement of the decision to invest. There is no requirement to notify the Department and so the figures include only those projects where the Department's Invest In Britain Bureau and its regional partners were involved or, which have come to their notice. They take no account of subsequent developments.
