§ Dr. HendronTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland (1) what is the total expenditure of(a) the Local Enterprise Development Unit and (b) Industrial Development Board in each of the parliamentary constituencies of Northern Ireland for each of the last 10 years; [29972]
(2) what is the total number of full-time jobs, both from inward investment and expansion of existing companies, created in each constituency for each of the last 10 years as a result of this expenditure. [29974]
§ Mr. AncramInformation on expenditure and job creations is not recorded in a manner which readily lends itself to analysis by parliamentary constituency. However, an exercise is being undertaken to produce as much as possible of the information in the form requested. My noble Friend hopes to write to the hon. Member about the matter soon. Information on job promotions by district council area is available from IDB and the results of the last 10 years are set out in the table.
