The question
To ask the Scottish Executive how many manufacturing jobs were created through inward investment in (a) Scotland, (b) Glasgow and (c) Dundee in each of the last five years to 31 March 2002.
The answer
Scottish Development International does not keep records of how many jobs are created by individual inward investors in a given year. The published figures reflect the number of jobs which a company plans to create or safeguard at the time its decision to invest in Scotland was made. The published figures refer only to projects in which Scottish Development International and its partners can claim to have had a significant involvement in ensuring that the project takes place in Scotland. The following figures relate to projects where a company has made a decision to invest or expand and where the main activity of the project is manufacturing. Not all jobs created by a manufacturing project are necessarily manufacturing jobs.(a) Jobs in Manufacturing in ScotlandYear | Planned New Jobs
