§ Mr. Warbeyasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the percentage increase in the gross national product, at constant prices, between 1938 and 1961.
§ Sir E. BoyleFigures for 1938 are much less comprehensive than those for post-war years and it is not possible to give a precise figure, but on the basis of the data available the increase between 1938 and 1961 in the gross national product measured at constant prices was probably between 50 and 55 per cent.
