The Director General for the Office for National Statistics has been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question concerning whether staff of Ofcom (a) are included and (b) were included in 1996 in Civil Service headcount figures. I am replying in his absence. (312181)

Letter from Stephen Penneck, dated 29 January 2009:
As Director General for the Office for National Statistics, I have been asked to reply to your recent question asking what the monetary value of foreign (a) direct and (b) indirect investment in the UK expressed in (a) sterling, (b) US dollars and (c) euro was in each of the last five years (313251).
The table attached provides the sterling, US dollars and euro monetary value of (a) foreign direct investment in the UK and (b) all other investment in the UK. Data for all other investment is presented as an alternative as indirect investment is not included in the international definitions of balance of payments statistics. All other investment is additionally broken down into its two constituent sub-categories of portfolio investment and other investment.
The figures provided record the financial flows into the UK over the last five years and are published in the financial account of the UK's Balance of Payments Statistical Bulletin.

| 2004 | 2005 | 2006 | 2007 | 2008 | |
| Notes: 1. A negative figure implies disinvestment. 2. The figures are consistent with the Financial Account, Table J, of the UK's Balance of Payments Statistical Bulletin Q3 2009. 3. The annual figures are compiled by summing the flows of the four quarters. 4. The currency conversion is calculated quarterly by applying the average quarterly exchange rate to the quarterly flows.
