The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, if he will make an estimate of the number of jobs created via foreign direct investment in South Norfolk constituency in the last 12 months.

Answered by Sarah Jones

The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) works closely with local authorities and investment partners to monitor and support the impact of foreign direct investment in the South Norfolk constituency.

Foreign direct investment in the New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) area resulted in 14 FDI projects and the creation of 516 new jobs in 2023-24, including both single-site and multi-site projects. While this area covers South Norfolk, specific statistics for the parliamentary constituency are not published due to confidentiality concerns.
