HC Deb 05 April 1967 vol 744 c46W
Mr. Bruce-Gardyne

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland why the all-industries, manufacturing industries, and mining and quarrying industries indices of output per head in Scotland failed to increase in 1965 in line with the forecasts set out in Table A, page 8, of Command Paper No. 2864; and if he will now readjust Table A to take account of the non-fulfilment in 1965 of targets for output per head in each of these categories and in the construction industry.

Mr. Ross

The figures in the Table referred to were not targets to be achieved between 1964 and 1965, but were the projected annual average rates of growth over the six year period 1964–70. Accordingly the Answer to the second part of the Question is "No".
