The question
To ask the Scottish Executive how many manufacturing jobs have been created through inward investment in (a) Scotland, (b) Aberdeen, (c) Edinburgh, (d) Dundee, (e) Glasgow, (f) Inverness and (g) Stirling in each year since 1996
The answer
Scottish DevelopmentInternational does not keep records of how many jobs are created by individualinward investors in a given year. The published figures reflect the number ofjobs which a company plans to create or safeguard at the time its decision toinvest in Scotland was made. The published figures refer only toprojects in which Scottish Development International and its partners can claimto have had a significant involvement in ensuring that the project takes placein Scotland. The following figures relate to projects where acompany 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 projectare necessarily manufacturing jobs.
