HC Deb 21 July 1994 vol 247 cc580-1W
Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list for each district and county council area and for Wales as a whole for each of the last five available years, the number of industrial projects involving inward investment from outside the United Kingdom, the estimated number of new jobs resulting from these projects, the associated total capital expenditure involved, the associated public capital expenditure involved and the amount in column 5 expressed as a percentage of column 4.

Mr. Redwood

A summary of foreign-owned inward investment projects recorded over the last five financial years together with forecast new employment and capital investment has been placed in the Library of the House. The figures represent companies projections at the time of the decision to invest and they do not take account of any subsequent changes.

The amount of public capital expenditure involved is not readily available and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
