During this Parliament the Government has taken action to make the UK a more attractive location to run a business including reducing corporation tax so that it will reach 20% next year – the lowest in the G20 - and investing in skills, science and infrastructure. The Government has also increased resources at UK Trade and Investment including for example establishing private sector-led teams in the Gulf, Central Europe, and South America dedicated to attracting inward investment into the UK. </strong></p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 24/11/2014 17:43:50 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/12/2018 answer text <p>The proportion of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) attributable to merger and acquisition (M&amp;A) activity can vary substantially from year to year. For instance, almost all of the inward FDI flows in 2016 can be attributed to a small number of high value deals. In 2017, the ONS recorded that 23.8% of FDI flows into the UK were due to mergers and acquisitions (net of disposals). The remainder can include acquisition of equity (share ownership), reinvested earnings and inter-company loans. However, we cannot ascertain how much new investment or expansions contributed to this remainder.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 19/12/2018 15:50:13 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
