HC Deb 12 July 1999 vol 335 c5W
Mr. Gummer

To ask the Prime Minister how many business men have paid individual courtesy calls on him at No. 10 Downing Street since he took office; how many were citizens of the United States; and how many had no business activities within the United Kingdom. [90364]

The Prime Minister

I frequently meet many people in the course of my duties and this properly includes business men from here and abroad. It is the job of the British Prime Minister to promote this country as a place to invest, boosting British jobs and prosperity. I have done this on many occasions and will continue to do so.
