§ 68. Mr. Shepherdasked the President of the Board of Trade the total national product, expressed in terms of goods and services, for 1938 and 1947, respectively.
§ Mr. BelcherInformation is not available to allow any precise comparison to be made of the relative sizes of the national product in 1938 and 1947. On the best available evidence, however, it is possible to say, as it was stated in the Economic Survey for 1948, Cmd. 7344, that "our production exceeds that of 1938, and each month recently has shown further upward progress."
