§ Mr. VazTo ask the President of the Board of Trade if she will make a statement on the current level of British investment in Yemen. [14974]
§ Mrs. RocheAt the end of 1995, the latest year for which figures are available, the net book value of direct investment by UK firms in Yemen was £15 million. This represents the cumulative value of investment after allowing for depreciation. During 1995, the flow of direct investment by UK firms in Yemen was less than their disinvestment, resulting in net direct investment of minus £36 million.
