HC Deb 13 November 1945 vol 415 c1911
53. Mr. Spearman

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what steps are being taken to obtain the statistical and financial material necessary to assess the national income so that changes in economic activity can be foreseen in time to prevent fluctuations in employment after the present transition period.

Mr. Dalton

All the Departments concerned have been charged with the duty of providing the necessary statistics, which will be considered as a whole by H.M. Treasury and the Economic Section of the Cabinet Secretariat.
