HC Deb 28 November 1967 vol 755 cc60-1W
Earl of Dalkeith

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer at what figure was the average output per employee engaged in productive industry valued during the most recent year for which figures are available.

Mr. Harold Lever

For the year 1966 output per person employed in the industries included in the index of industrial production is estimated at about £1,290. This estimate is based on the contribution of these industries to the gross national product as shown in Table II of the National Income Blue Book, divided by an estimate of the average numbers employed during the year, including working proprietors as well as employees.
