Miss Kirkbride: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how the Government measures inward investment. [187282]

Mr. Mike O'Brien: The Government measure Inward Investment in two ways.

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) statistics are collected and published by Office of National Statistics (ONS). FDI is a financial measure collected primarily to measure balance of payments, and internationally comparable statistics are published by the statistical offices of other countries and by international bodies.

Information on the number of projects and jobs created by region of investment and country of origin are recorded by UKTI based on information provided by companies at the time of the decision to invest in the UK. There is no requirement to notify UKTI, so only those projects where UKTI and its regional partners were involved, or which have come to their notice will be recorded.

Information on inward investment is also available from a range of commercial sources.
