45. Mr. Knox

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what is the most recent figure for output in manufacturing industry; and how this compares with the figure for the same month in 1979.

Mr. Trippier

For the three months to November 1984 the index of production for manufacturing industry is 100, based on 1980 equal to 100. This is 7 per cent. lower than the index of production for manufacturing industry in the three months to November 1979.
