Lord Marlesford

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will estimate the value, at constant prices, of total overseas commercial industrial investment in the United Kingdom for each of the last 10 years, showing separately the investment from within the European Union and from outside the European Union. [HL3049]

Lord McIntosh of Haringey:

The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician, who has been asked to reply.

Letter to Lord Marlesford from Karen Dunnell the Director of the Surveys and Administrative Sources Directorate, Office for National Statistics, dated 4 June 2003.

The National Statistician has been asked to reply to your recent question asking about the estimated value, at constant prices, of total overseas commercial industrial investment in the United Kingdom for each of the last ten years, showing separately the investment from within the European Union and from outside the European Union. I am replying in his absence. (HL3049)

The value of foreign direct investment in the UK is not estimated at constant prices. Current price estimates are published in the Office for National Statistics Monitor MA4 and are available on the National Statistics website at: http://www.statistics. gov.uk/CCI/SearchRes.asp?term = MA4&x = 21&y = 20
