§ Mr. Channonasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what was the change in the real gross national product of Rhodesia between 1965 and 1969.
§ Mr. M. Stewart:Southern Rhodesia's gross national product at factor cost increased from £R339.5 million in 1965 to £R395 million in 1969, in terms of constant prices. The real increase in the gross national product in that period was therefore £R55.5 million.
The gross domestic product increased from £R354 million in 1965 to £R406 million in 1969, in terms of constant prices. The real increase in the gross domestic product during that period was therefore £R52 million.
If, however, increases in population are also taken into account the increase in gross national product in real terms per head of population amounted to only about 2 per cent. over the whole of the period 1965–1969.
