Earl of Dalkeithasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the current annual value of the average output per 226W head of those engaged in productive industry in Scotland; and how this compares with the forecasts in the Economic Plan for Scotland adjusted to take account of changes in the value of money.
§ Mr. RossMeasures of changes in the value of output are not available, but measures of changes in volume are published regularly in the Digest of Scottish Statistics. It is not realistic to attempt to relate year to year changes with the White Paper on the Scottish Economy which covered a six year period down to 1970.
