§ Ms ArmstrongTo ask the President of the Board of Trade what was the amount of manufacturing investment gross domestic fixed capital formation in each region in 1991; and if he will provide a consistent series of figures back to 1979.

The latest available estimates of gross domestic fixed capital formation by region within manufacturing for 1988 to 1990 were published in the December 1992 issue of "Economic Trends", available in the House of Commons Library. Estimates for 1991 are to be published in the May 1994 issue of "Economic Trends". Information prior to 1988 is not available on a consistent time series basis.
