§ Mr. McKayasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the value of goods and services produced by public corporations and companies in 1955; and what is the relation of wages and salaries to the value of such output expressed as a percentage.
§ Mr. H. MacmillanI regret that information about the total output of public corporations and companies in 1955 is not available. Their contribution to the gross national product, representing value added and excluding goods and services bought from outside, was approximately £10,850 million, of which wages and salaries were 66 per cent.
