§ 132. Mr. Stratton Millsasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish a table showing, from information available from international sources, the average annual increase in national income per head at constant prices in France, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, the United States of America, Canada, Japan and Great Britain, between 1958 and 1964, 1960 and 1964 and between 1964 and 1968, respectively.
§ Mr. William RodgersThe information is given in the table below. Data on national income at constant prices are not available, and the calculations have, therefore, been based on the gross national product at constant market prices. Figures for 1968 are not yet270W available. In the case of West Germany, the published figures for 1958 exclude the Saar and West Berlin, which are included for later years, but an estimated adjustment for this has been made in arriving at the figure for 1958–1964 given in the table.
Following is the table:
