HC Deb 17 July 1978 vol 954 c73W
Mr. Michael Morris

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is his estimate of total construction output, all work at current prices, for each

CONSTRUCTION OUTPUT, CREAT BRITAIN
Direct labour
Year Total £ million £ million percentage of total
1974 10,041 932 9.3
1975 11,421 1,289 11.3
1976 12,527 1,480 11.8
1977 13,495 1,640 12.2

Direct labour output in 1974 is thought to have been understated because reporting was disrupted by local government reorganisation in England and Wales.
