HC Deb 20 June 1967 vol 748 cc240-1W
101. Mr. Nott

asked the First Secretary of State and Secretary of State for Economic Affairs by what percentage United Kingdom industrial production increased between 1964 and 1966; and if he will give the comparable figures for Japan, Italy, Germany, France, Canada and the United States of America.

Mr. Harold Lever

The increases were:—

Per cent.
United Kingdom … 5
Japan … 17
Italy … 19
Germany (Federal Republic) … 7
France … 9
Canada … 17
United States … 18

The figures for Japan, Italy, Canada and the United States exclude the construction industry; the exclusion of construction would not affect the figure for the United Kingdom.
