HC Deb 29 May 1951 vol 488 c5W
Mr. A. Jones

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer which price indices were used in the computation of the figure for stock appreciation given in Table 3 of Command Paper No. 8203.

Mr. J. Edwards

The figures of stock appreciation in Cmd. 8203 were estimated by applying index numbers of changes in the relevant import prices to estimated stocks of imported commodities at various stages in the productive process.
