§ 81. Mr. Onslowasked the President of the Board of Trade what was the rate of growth of the ten principal import-saving industries of the United Kingdom in the period October 1964 to June 1965.
§ Mr. DarlingMost industries are import saving, directly or indirectly, and most use imported supplies. Any ranking of industries would depend on how industries were defined, but generally the concept of import saving is too complex, and insufficient data available, to allow the chief import saving industries to be specified.
The latest statistics giving rates of growth of production for industries included in the index of industrial production are shown in Table 44 of the Monthly Digest of Statistics for June.
