The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will make an assessment of whether the National Wealth Fund is operating on an equitable basis throughout the UK.

Answered by James Murray

The National Wealth Fund (NWF) identifies investment opportunities across the UK and has dedicated directors in each of the four nations to support its view of markets across the country. 80% of the NWF's portfolio is outside of London and the South-East.

The NWF's success is assessed across a range of measures, including that it should have a good geographical spread of its activity across the nations and regions of the UK
