§ Mr. Kilfedderasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether he will make a statement on the movement in the value of manufacturing net income and outputs in 1975–76 and the anticipated movements over the next five years.
§ Mr. ConcannonManufacturing net output increased by 3.3 per cent. between 1975 and 1976. Any forecast is bound to be highly speculative, but I hope that over the next five years a similar rate of increase can be maintained.
