HC Deb 18 April 1962 vol 658 cc71-2W
61. Mr. J. Robertson

asked the Minister of Labour what are the earnings in money terms on which the indices of average weekly earnings by region on pages 22 to 26 of his Department's publication, "Statistics on Incomes, Prices, Employment and Production." are based.

Mr. Green

Regional figures of earnings in money terms by industry could be misleading unless certain statistical difficulties are overcome. I am considering these difficulties in the hope of being able to publish the earnings in money terms in the next issue of this publication.
