This includes local communities and small towns. The Department’s FDI strategy focuses on delivering new ways to target support for those FDI projects that create the most value for investors and the national wealth.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Fairhead question first answered 12/12/2018 12:38:16 answering member 4690 label Biography information for Baroness Fairhead
