HC Deb 13 February 1997 vol 290 c312W
20. Mr. Trickett

To ask the Chancellor Exchequer if he will make a statement on current investment levels in the United Kingdom. [14192]

Mrs. Angela Knight

UK businesses have invested more in relation to GDP in the 1990s than in the 1980s, having invested more in the 1980s than in the 1970s. In setting the right climate of low inflation and steady growth, the Government's economic policies are encouraging business to expand and invest with confidence.
