answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2016 answer text <p>The UK remains a great place to do business. Annual figures published by the Department for International Trade in August 2016 confirm that the UK remains the number one investment destination in Europe; and the top European destination for investment from emerging markets. The figures show that Britain has benefitted from record-breaking inward investment by foreign companies. Across the country, 2,213 inward investment projects were secured in 2015 to 2016, an 11% increase on the previous year.</p><p>With our world-class research base, a highly skilled workforce, world-leading scientific capabilities and a competitive tax environment that includes R&amp;D tax credits and Patent Box, we are determined that the UK should remain the best place in Europe to innovate, locate and grow a business. The UK is a global leader in science and innovation, winning 13 science Nobel Prizes since 2000 and with more Nobel Prizes per capita than US, France, Germany, Russia or Japan; it is ranked third in the Global Innovation Index and is home to 3 of the world’s top 10 universities. Following the vote to leave the EU, we remain determined to maintain the global competitiveness of the UK research base and business environment. To maintain confidence in the UK’s participation in EU funded research collaborations, the Government announced on 13th August, that HM Treasury will underwrite, for the life of the project, all competitively won EU research funding applied for before our departure from the EU.</p> answering member constituency Wyre Forest answering member printed Mark Garnier question first answered 14/09/2016 14:12:31 answering member 4074 label Biography information for Mark Garnier

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their assessment of the implications for inward investment in Turkey by UK companies and financial institutions of the attempted coup of 15 July.
tabling member printed	Lord Patten
uin	HL1510
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/09/2016 answer text <p>The attempted coup of 15 July came as a surprise to everyone including UK investors in Turkey. The democratically elected government remains in power. Its policies, relating to international investors, remain the same or have been improved, with the aim of encouraging more foreign direct investment. UK investors were quick to confirm their intention to maintain or enhance their investments. We have consulted widely with the UK investor community, their message is clear; they are in Turkey for the long term and do not believe the events of 15 July have altered the economic fundamentals or the business case for continuing to invest in the market.</p> answering member printed Lord Price question first answered 19/09/2016 15:46:33 answering member 4570 label Biography information for Lord Price
