Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask Her Majesty's Government how much total investment has been secured by the Office for Investment since it was launched in 2020; and in which sectors this investment has been secured.

The Office for Investment was launched in November 2020 as a small, agile team with the convening power to corral an all of government approach to unblocking barriers for the most high-impact, high-value investors and turning the UK’s investment aspirations into investable propositions.

The Office is working closely with the Department for International Trade’s Posts and Regions as well as other relevant government departments, to identify and secure major investment into the UK demonstrating the government’s ambition to be the best place in the world for investors.

The Office is pursuing investment opportunities that represent the greatest strategic value to the UK economy, and which align with the government’s priorities on levelling up and net zero. Inward investment is integral to the UK’s post-COVID response.
