§ Mr. KilfoyleTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many companies have relocated from the north-west of England, to(a) London, (b) the south-east of England, (c) overseas and (d) elsewhere in each year from 1989–90 to 1999–2000. [145207]
§ Mr. CabornMy Department does not collect information on businesses that relocate from one region to another. An answer would therefore be purely anecdotal and inevitably unrepresentative of the true picture.
