Mr. Bruce-Gardyne

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will give details of changes in the value of industrial output per man-hour at constant prices in the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Western Germany, France, Italy and Japan, between the third quarter of 1964 and the fourth quarter of 1966, from information he received from international organisations.

Mr. Diamond

Between the third quarter of 1964 and the third quarter of 1966 (the latest date available) output per operative hour in manufacturing industry in the United Kingdom is estimated to have risen by about 8 per cent. Comparable figures for other countries are not available from the international organisations.
