Mr. H. Wilsonasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what proportion of new investment in the private sector he estimates comes from private investors, from insurance companies and other institutions, including pension funds, and from the investment of ploughed back profits, respectively, distinguishing between investment of ploughed back profits in the firms concerned, and investment of such profits in other and non-associated companies.
Mr. AmoryI regret that detailed information in this form is not at present available. I would, however, draw the right hon. Gentleman's attention to the figures given in Table 22 in the "Economic Survey 1959" and to the article and tables "Income and Finance of public quoted companies 1956" published in the February, 1959, issue of "Economic Trends".
