HC Deb 21 March 1994 vol 240 c76W
Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what is his estimate of the number of jobs that have(a) located in Wales from areas outside of Wales and (b) located from Wales to areas outside Wales in each of the last 15 years.

Mr. Redwood

Comprehensive information is not available. However, the 1,120 inward investment projects from overseas and the rest of the United Kingdom recorded by Welsh Development International since April 1983 forecast almost 110,000 new and safeguarded jobs.

The figures are based on information provided by companies at the time of their decision to invest and take no account of subsequent developments.
