HC Deb 02 February 1998 vol 305 c533W
Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what steps he is taking to ensure the wider geographical spread of inward investment in Wales. [27148]

Mr. Hain

My right hon. Friend and I are determined that the whole of Wales will enjoy economic and industrial success through the attraction of inward investment and, importantly, through the growth of indigenous companies. The Welsh Office and the Welsh Development Agency will continue to focus on those areas which need the most help and we will make every effort to steer new inward investment projects to our priority areas.
