HC Deb 12 July 1995 vol 263 c642W
32. Mr. Nicholas Winterton

To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will make a statement on inward investment. [32153]

Mr. Eggar

Inward investment is a UK success story. I announced only last week that in 1994–95, a record number of 434 inward investment decisions were notified to the Invest in Britain Bureau, expecting to create nearly 37,000 new jobs. Almost 57 per cent of these decisions were by foreign investors already established here, a tremendous vote of confidence in the strength of the UK economy.
