HC Deb 31 July 1998 vol 317 c597W
Mr. Ruane

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many jobs have been(a) created and (b) sustained in (i) the Vale of Clwyd constituency and (ii) Denbighshire by (1) foreign inward investment and (2) domestic inward investment in each of the last five years. [53919]

Mr. Hain

Inward investment information for the areas of the Vale of Clwyd constituency and Denbighshire Unitary Authority, much of which is non-assisted, is available for the last two financial years only. There were no inward investment projects recorded by the Welsh Development Agency for the Vale of Clwyd in those years. Information on Denbighshire is set out below. For the previous three years, it has only been possible to assemble meaningful information for the former Rhuddlan, Glyndwr and part of Colwyn.
