HC Deb 24 January 1963 vol 670 cc87-8W
35. Dr. Bray

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many administrative or equivalent grade man years were spent in producing the 1954 Input Output Tables for the United Kingdom; how many men are now working on the regular compilation of such statistics; what steps are being taken by the Treasury and other Government Departments to use such statistics systematically in economic forecasting; and what support is being given to such work outside Her Majesty's Government.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

About one man year. As computers are now used it is not possible to give at present comparable figures in respect of present work. This is used in connection with economic forecasting. The answer to the last Dart of the Question is, None.
