The MP is concerned about promoting foreign investment specifically in Doncaster, mentioning two key sites: DN7 at Thorne and GatewayEast around Doncaster Sheffield airport.
I have spoken to national and international companies about investment in Doncaster, mainly at two sites: DN7 at Thorne and GatewayEast around Doncaster Sheffield airport. I even personally managed to secure a visit to Doncaster from Apple's UK representative; it was fantastic for him to come up. What steps has the Department taken to encourage international companies to invest in Doncaster?
We have invested heavily and are building close relationships with the Mayor and the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority to support investment into the region. Details of capital investment projects such as GatewayEast will soon be added to the investment atlas that was published as part of the global investment summit.

The MP is seeking assurances regarding investment in northern Lincolnshire, emphasizing the expertise in the renewable energy sector.
Investment in South Yorkshire is important, but even more important is investment in northern Lincolnshire. Could the Minister give an assurance that he will work closely with me and with businesses in northern Lincolnshire, particularly to develop the renewable energy sector, in which we have great expertise?
I think my hon. Friend was campaigning for a rail line last time we spoke about the area. My hon. Friend will be pleased to know that we will continue to give his area access to the export support scheme, the export champions, the Export Academy and our vast network of international trade advisers.
