HC Deb 29 April 1976 vol 910 c183W
Mr. Rooker

asked the Secretary of State for Trade (1) what proportion of service and distributive trades is made up of franchised operations; and how this proportion compares with previous years;

(2) if he has an estimate of the proportion of GNP contributed by franchised operations; and if so how this proportion compares with previous years.

Mr. Meacher

Official statistical information does not generally distinguish activities which form a franchise operation, so no comprehensive data is available.
