HC Deb 03 March 1966 vol 725 c390W
Sir T. Beamish

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT a table showing the annual rise in the gross national product since 1946, together with his estimate of the expected annual rise for the next five years.

Mr. MacDermot

Estimates of the annual growth in the gross national product from 1948–64 inclusive are shown in index form in Table 13 of the Blue Book "National Income and Expenditure 1965". Comparable figures for 1946 and 1947 are not available and those for 1965 are not yet complete. The National Plan is designed to achieve a 25 per cent. increase in national output between 1964 and 1970.
