HL Deb 16 December 2003 vol 655 c125WA
Lord Kilclooney

asked Her Majesty's Government: Whether Invest Northern Ireland has had any contact with IKEA to locate a base in Northern Ireland; and whether any support has been extended to IKEA for such new investment. [HL340]

Baroness Amos

Invest Northern Ireland has had no direct contact with IKEA regarding an investment within the retail sector in Northern Ireland. No financial assistance has been extended to IKEA as the retail sector is not within Invest Northern Ireland's remit for support.
